1. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker:
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker insert.
- Add the finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, chunky salsa, lime juice, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, ground coriander, sea salt, and black pepper over the chicken.
- Stir everything together gently, making sure the spices and salsa mixture coat the chicken breasts well.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Place the lid on the slow cooker.
- Cook on the HIGH setting for 3 hours OR on the LOW setting for 6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
3. Shred the Chicken:
- Once the chicken is tender, remove it from the slow cooker (leaving the sauce behind) and place it on a cutting board or in a large bowl.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
4. Thicken Sauce and Finish Cooking:
- Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker with the sauce.
- Give the whole mixture a good stir.
- Place the lid back on the slow cooker but leave it slightly ajar (propped open a crack). This allows excess moisture to evaporate and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Cook for an additional 1 hour on the LOW setting (or HIGH if you are short on time, maybe 30 mins, watching closely).
5. Prepare Tortillas and Toppings:
- While the chicken finishes cooking, prepare your toppings: Mash the avocados (add salt/lime if desired), chop the cilantro, slice the remaining lime into wedges.
- Slightly toast your tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat (or use a tiny bit of oil if preferred). Toast each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds per side, until lightly browned and warmed through.
6. Assemble and Serve:
- Spoon the warm shredded chicken mixture onto the toasted tortillas.
- Top each taco with mashed avocado, a dollop of sour cream, fresh chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
- Serve immediately.
