For preparing chicken on stovetop

Step 1Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Add chicken and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken, then add in all other ingredients and cover. Reduce heat to low.
Step 2Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until chicken is completely tender and easily shreddable. Reserve braising liquid and shred chicken.

For preparing chicken in slow-cooker

Step 1Place all ingredients in a large slow-cooker. Bring to a boil on high, then switch to low and simmer for 2 hours. Chicken is ready when it falls apart and shreds easily. Reserve the braising liquid and shred the chicken.

For the enchiladas

Step 1Preheat oven to 375º. Combine 1 cup of braising liquid (reserved from cooking the chicken) in a blender with all of the other enchilada-sauce ingredients, and blend until smooth.
Step 2Add a thin layer of the blended enchilada sauce to the bottom of a 9″-x-13″ baking dish. Fill a tortilla with a large scoop of shredded chicken and a small handful of shredded cheese, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Continue until all of the tortillas are filled and placed in the baking dish.
Step 3Pour the remaining sauce over enchiladas, then top with sour cream and the remaining cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is melty and enchiladas are warmed through. Serve garnished with cilantro.

For the spicy avocado crema

Step 1Add all of the liquid ingredients to a blender or food processor, then add the remaining ingredients on top; blend until smooth. If needed, add more water by the teaspoon to reach your desired consistency. Season to taste with salt.

For the tacos

Step 1Toast the corn tortillas in a dry, hot pan until lightly brown-spotted. Fill the toasted tortillas with shredded chicken, then top with Mexican or Mexican-style cheese, onions, cilantro, and a heaping spoonful of your avocado crema.
