Taco Meat Ingredients:
4 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves garlic, diced
Juice of two limes
1 yellow onion, diced
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp cumin
1 bottle beer (this will all cook off but you can sub for 2 cups chicken broth if you want)
Avocado Cream Ingredients:
1-2 avocados, pitted and diced (add more or less depending on amount of avocado flavor you want)
½ cup sour cream
½ cup avocado mayonnaise
1 Tbsp lime juice
Dash of kosher salt and pepper
Taco Accompaniments:

Directions:
Place all ingredients for taco meat in slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours. Once done, shred with two forks.
Remove from slow cooker and spread meat on a cookie sheet. Broil on the top rack of an oven for 3-4 minutes to crisp up the edges.
Once meat is done, set aside and make avocado cream. For avocado cream, place all ingredients in a blender or mixer and mix until smooth.
Serve tacos on corn tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, avocado cream, and any other toppings desired. Serve with a side of Spanish rice or beans.
