Salsa Chicken Tacos:

  1. Chicken:
    1. Put chicken and salsa in your crockpot and cook on high for three hours (or low for six).  Then shred chicken, stir well into salsa and let cook about 30 more minutes.
  2. Pickled onions:
    1. Slice onion, and put it in a mason jar with the salt and red wine vinegar.
    2. For the first twenty minutes, shake every few minutes to evenly coat onion.
    3. Let sit in fridge overnight.
  3. Tortillas:
    1. Spray a skillet with a little avocado oil and cook each side of tortilla until it is brown and toasty.
  4. Assembling tacos:
    1. On top of your tortilla, place chicken, then onions, add some arugula, and drizzle crema on top!

Notes

Dairy Free Option – use non-dairy plain yogurt instead of greek yogurt to make this crema dairy free.  The tacos are dairy free if you make the crema dairy free.

Vegan Option – the crema is vegan if made with non dairy yogurt.  The tacos contain chicken and therefore are still not vegan.

Gluten Free Option – use a gluten free tortilla and these tacos will be gluten free.
