Crockpot Spiced Chicken Tacos
  1. Coat a slow cooker with cooking spray. Combine first 8 ingredients and ¼ tsp each, salt and black pepper.

  2. Rub half the spice mixture all over the chicken breast and thighs.

  3. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches and brown 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the slow cooker. Heat remaining 2 tsp oil in same skillet. Add onions and ⅛ tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Place on top of chicken, add the diced green chiles and the remaining spice mixture.

  4. Whisk together the orange juice, tomato paste, lime juice, cider vinegar, garlic, hot sauce and ½ tsp black pepper. Pour over chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook until chicken is tender, 6 to 8 hours on low or on high for 4 hours.

  5. Transfer chicken to cutting board and shred. Add sauce until chicken is just moistened. Serve with tortillas, avocados, cheese, cilantro, and additional sauce, if desired.
