| 1. 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). | 2. Remove chicken and let cool, leaving sauce in the vessel. | 3. 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. | 4. Reduce crockpot or slow cooker to low and simmer meat in sauce for at least one additional hour (the longer the better). | 5. 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. | 6. Add one flour tortilla at a time into oil and fry one side until lightly browned. | 7. Using tongs, fold the tortilla over so that the browned side is on the inside. | 8. Fry the outside until lightly browned. | 9. Remove from oil, add a pinch of kosher salt and place on a cooling rack. | 10. Repeat until desired number of Puffy Taco Shells are done. | 11. Note: Don't dare cut out the onion and/or garlic, as the meat will not tenderize nearly as well. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
