Start by placing 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Pour in 1/4 cup of honey, the juice of 2 limes, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder over the chicken.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavors. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce for extra flavor.
For the avocado crema, blend 1 ripe avocado, 1/2 cup of sour cream, the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
Warm 8 small corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of shredded chicken on each tortilla, drizzling with avocado crema, and topping with fresh cilantro and diced red onion.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful tacos!
