Suggest a better descriptionMake cooking sauce (SEE NOTE): In a medium bowl, whisk together the chipotle peppers (with sauce), cumin, oregano, 4 cloves of garlic, ½ cup of lime juice, 2 tsp honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the chicken.
Add ingredients to the slow cooker: Place the onions in the bottom of a slow cooker. Arrange the chicken on top of the onions in a single layer. Pour the cooking sauce over the chicken. Pour the beer on top.
Cook the chicken (SEE NOTES): Cover the slow cooker with a lid. Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender, shreds easily and registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Alternatively, chicken can be cooked on HIGH for 2-3 hours.
Meanwhile, make the baja sauce: In the bowl of a food processor add the remaining clove of garlic, jalapeno and cilantro. Pulse to roughly chop, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add in the remaining 2 TBS lime juice, 1 tsp honey, fajita seasoning, mayonnaise and sour cream. Process to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. If a thinner sauce is desired, add in a splash or two of water. Transfer to the refrigerator to allow the flavors to marry.
Shred the chicken: Remove the lid and while the chicken is still warm, either shred the chicken with 2 forks right in the slow cooker, or transfer the chicken to a cutting board to shred. Toss the shredded chicken with the cooking liquid in the slow cooker. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the chicken to a serving bowl*.
Assemble the tacos: Divide the chicken among tortillas. Top with desired garnishes and drizzle with baja sauce. Enjoy!
