Ingredients
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
-
1 fresh jalapeño pepper, halved and stemmed (see Tip)
-
3 cloves garlic, peeled
-
2 tablespoons chili powder
-
1 tablespoon ground cumin
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
-
16 (6 inch) corn or flour tortillas, warmed
-
1 cup Guacamole, chopped fresh cilantro, and/or lime wedges
Directions
-
Combine undrained tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, garlic, chili powder, and salt in a blender; cover and blend until smooth. Pour the tomato mixture into a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Add chicken thighs; stir to coat.
-
Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours or on High for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
-
Remove the chicken and place in a bowl. Shred the chicken using two forks. Add enough sauce mixture from the slow cooker to the shredded chicken to moisten. Serve the chicken in tortillas. If desired, top with guacamole, cilantro, and/or lime wedges.
Tips
Equipment: 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker
Tip: Because hot chile peppers, such as jalapeños, contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
