Instructions
- Line a 4-quart to 6-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner.
- Trim any large pieces of fat from chicken thighs. Season chicken with 1/2 of the salt and pepper; add to slow cooker.
- Add onion, garlic, jalapeño, orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, cumin, and remaining salt and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir gently with a wooden or silicone spoon to combine.
- Cover and cook on Low for 4 to 5 hours or High for 2 to 3 hours, until chicken is done.
- Carefully remove the lid to allow steam to escape. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken to a large bowl or cutting board. Shred into bite-sized chunks. Chicken should easily shred when it is cooked through.
- Ladle out some juice from the slow cooker, leaving enough to mix with shredded chicken.
- Spoon shredded chicken back into the lined slow cooker. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and cumin, if necessary.
- Serve in warmed tortillas with desired toppings.
