Chicken Birria Tacos for the Slow Cooker

#Chicken Birria Tacos, made the easy way in the slow cooker. I'm walking you through my Chicken Birria Tacos today, and I promise the payoff is worth the little bit of chile prep. Dried New Mexico, negro, and chipotle chiles get rehydrated and blended into a deep, smoky adobo, then simmered on the stove so the flavors marry before the chicken ever goes into the slow cooker. That reduction step matters; skip it and you end up with a thin, watery sauce instead of a rich one. I use chicken breasts here, straight from frozen, because modern slow cookers come up to temperature fast enough to handle it safely. It just needs about 30 extra minutes. Once the chicken shreds easily, I drop it into my stand mixer with the paddle attachment and run it on stir; it shreds a full batch in under a minute, no forks required.
