Directions:
- Place everything except the tortillas and oil in a crockpot or slow cooker and set to high for three hours or until meat is easily removed from the bone (the thickest part of chicken should read 180 degrees on a meat thermometer).
- Remove chicken and let cool, leaving sauce in the vessel.
- When cool enough to handle, pull the chicken meat from the bone and shred. Add shredded meat back into the sauce. Discard chicken skin and bones.
- Reduce crockpot or slow cooker to low and simmer meat in sauce for at least one additional hour (the longer the better).
- Meanwhile, pour vegetable oil into a frying pan until 1/4 deep. Heat oil to 350 degrees or until a flour tortilla puffs up and browns quickly.
- Add one flour tortilla at a time into oil and fry one side until lightly browned.
- Using tongs, fold the tortilla over so that the browned side is on the inside.
- Fry the outside until lightly browned.
- Remove from oil, add a pinch of kosher salt and place on a cooling rack.
- Repeat until desired number of Puffy Taco Shells are done.
- Note: Don't dare cut out the onion and/or garlic, as the meat will not tenderize nearly as well.
