4 servings

  • 1 large skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa verde, divided
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 (6 inch) soft corn tortillas
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese, or to taste
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Combine chicken breast, 1/2 of the salsa verde, chicken broth, onion, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook until chicken is cooked through on Low for 6 hours or High for 3 hours.
  • Remove chicken from sauce and shred in a bowl with 2 forks. Return to the slow cooker and mix to combine with sauce.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat; add olive oil and heat until it starts to shimmer. Add tortilla triangles to the hot oil and cook, flipping every minute, until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add shredded chicken, slow cooker sauce, and remaining salsa verde to tortillas. Mix and heat until everything is warmed through.
  • Meanwhile, stir sour cream and enough milk together so it can be drizzled.
  • Remove tortilla mixture from the heat. Sprinkle cotija cheese on top and garnish with cilantro; drizzle with thinned sour cream mixture.
