The base of this meal is Jonas’ amazing Shredded Chipotle Chicken. I cannot emphasise how amazing it tastes after 6 hours of slow cooking in our wonderful NewWave 5 in 1 MultiCooker.
The chicken absorbs the wonderful spice of the chipotles (smoked jalapeños) and Jonas breaks it apart into shreds that soak up the sauce it sits in.
The shredded chicken recipe will make enough nachos for a group of 8 people, but if there’s only a few of you then the leftover chicken is a beautiful filling for another meal like tacos, enchiladas or burritos. It’s as versatile as it is tasty.
The best part is just how easy it is to make. Fry up some garlic, onion and chilli, throw all the ingredients into a slow cooker and then shred. That’s it.

I think chipotle in adobo is my favourite ingredient of the moment, I am using it in everything! Now I have one more dish to use it in, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love chipotles in adobo too! We eat them quite a lot. Have you ever made a lime, chipotle & avocado soup? I have a great recipe that some Mexican friends gave me. You can find it in my recipe index under Caldo Tlalpeño
Deleteoh man.. that looks like heaven on a plate.
ReplyDeleteit was stinky, it was
Deleteyou've done it again!!! saved to make, yum yum yum :)
ReplyDeletethanks muppy! it's always great to hear from you :)
DeleteThe tenderness of that chicken comes through in the photos so obviously the long slow cooking is the ticket. Can you tell me where you can purchase the chipotles in adobo?
ReplyDeletehiya anna, i got the chipotles from fiji market in newtown, but if that's a hike then they're really cheap online from www.fireworksfoods.com.au
DeleteHoly moly - that's mouthwatering, and kinda looks almost healthy too! Love me some pico di gallo
ReplyDeleteReading this while hungry was a BIG mistake. MMMMMMmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteWoah - love the look of that chicken! Tamarind magarita?! That sounds equally amazing!
