Instructions
1

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup gochujang, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic to create the marinade.

2

Place 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the crockpot and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.

3

Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the kimchi slaw by mixing 2 cups of shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, and 1/2 cup of store-bought kimchi in a bowl.

5

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lime, and 1 avocado, blending until smooth to create the avocado crema.

6

Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks and mix it back into the sauce in the crockpot. To serve, warm 8 small corn tortillas and fill each with a generous portion of the shredded chicken, topped with the kimchi slaw and a drizzle of avocado crema.

7

Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.
