  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • Salt and Pepper

  • 5 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt

  • 2-4 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped

  • 1/2 cup orange Juice

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Corn Tortillas

Spicy Pineapple Slaw

  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

  • 1 jalapeño, chopped, and seeded, if desired

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Juice and zest of 1 lime

  • Juice of half an orange

  • Salt

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Recipe

  1. To make the slaw, in a bowl combine lime zest, juice, orange juice, cabbage, pineapple, cilantro, and jalapeno if using. Toss until coated, cover and refrigerate until service.

  2. In a pressure cooker, add the chicken, garlic, oregano, salt, adobe peppers, and orange juice. Cover and cook on high pressure/manual for 10 minutes. Use the natural or quick release function and release the steam for 5 minutes. 

  3. Shred with two forks. Stir in the lime juice and cilantro. 

  4. Char the tortillas over an open flame on the burner or in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Keep warm.  If you're charing over an open flame,  use low heat and keep an eye on it as  they will charr quickly. 

  5. Spoon chicken into warm tortillas and top with slaw, and serve with wedged lines.
