Preparation

  1. Put the uncooked chicken breasts in the crock pot, pour over the full bottle of dressing, sprinkle over the cumin, smoked paprika and garlic, and mix in a bit with a spoon.
  2. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
  3. Remove the chicken and let it cool, then shred it into a glass bowl and pour most of the cooking liquid back over it.
  4. For the guacamole sauce, mix the avocado and green salsa together, then pass through a strainer until smooth and transfer to a squeeze bottle (widen the opening if needed).
  5. For the sour cream sauce, mix the sour cream and milk together until pourable, and transfer to a squeeze bottle.
  6. In a 9x13 glass baking dish, fill all 12 taco shells with a layer of refried beans, the chicken and shredded cheese.
  7. Bake at 450°F for 10–15 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  8. Top with the grape tomatoes, jalapeño and cilantro, then finish with a drizzle of guacamole and sour cream.
