Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roughly chop the chipotle pepper, reserving any adobo sauce. Grate the garlic.
Marinate the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, tomato sauce, garlic, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce (add ½ the sauce for medium spicy), ¾ of the spices and S&P.
Cook & shred the chicken
In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the chicken* and marinade. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken.
Make the slaw
Meanwhile, in a second medium bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Warm the tortillas
Stack and tightly wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake directly on an oven rack, 6 to 8 min., until heated through.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the avocado purée. Top with the chicken and a spoonful of the slaw. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
