8 small tortillas, flour
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss some salt and pepper over the thighs. Use a Dutch oven heated on medium with olive oil to sear both sides of the chicken till golden. Work in batches if there's not enough room. When done, toss in garlic, onions, broth, and tomatoes; cover and cook slowly on low for around 50 minutes till they’re super soft.
02 -
While waiting for the chicken, heat a saucepan and melt the butter. Toss in minced garlic and onions to cook till they’re soft and smell amazing. Add all the rest: honey, vinegar, Worcestershire, ketchup, soy sauce, and black pepper. Let it bubble gently without a lid for half an hour while stirring every now and then.
03 -
Combine the strawberries, lime juice, jalapeno, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Give it a gentle stir, then leave it aside to let the flavors blend together.
04 -
Take the braised chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Stir the shreds right into the BBQ sauce to coat them well.
05 -
Use a cast-iron skillet to warm up the tortillas till golden. Load them up with the saucy chicken, then top them with avocado slices and strawberry salsa.
