Ingredients

700g (1.5 lb) chicken breast
400g (1.5 cups) passata
250g (1.25 cups) black beans, drained
200g (1.5 cups) sweetcorn
150g (1 medium) onion, diced
100g (1 small) avocado, sliced
2 flour tortillas (140g), cut in strips
12g (4 cloves) garlic, minced
30ml (2 tbsp) lime juice
2 tbsp chilli powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp salt
900ml / 4 cups chicken stock; coriander to finish

Method

Everything except the corn, beans, lime, avocado and tortillas goes in the cooker at once. Lid on.
Low for 6 hours. There is no browning step here because the chilli and cumin carry the depth instead.
Lift the chicken out, shred it, and put it back.
Add the beans and corn for the last 20 min only - any longer and the corn goes soft and the beans break up.
While that finishes, toast the tortilla strips in a dry pan or a hot oven for 6 min until they snap.
Stir the lime juice in with the lid off.
Serve with the tortilla strips and avocado added at the table, not in the pot.
