  2. Place chicken and garlic into the slow cooker, sprinkle with sea salt, and stir. Pour in soy sauce mixture and combine. Turn the slow cooker to Low and cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 4 hours.
  3. Whisk ginger, soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, rice vinegar, cider vinegar, honey, and lime zest for slaw in a large mixing bowl. Add broccoli slaw mix, cilantro, and green onion. Toss to combine and chill in the refrigerator until serving.
  4. Place sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, Sriracha, and lime juice into a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
  5. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Wrap tortillas in foil.
  6. Cook in the preheated oven until warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Place taco filling evenly on tortillas, top with broccoli slaw, and drizzle with sauce.
  8. The broccoli slaw is best if prepared 15 to 20 minutes prior to serving.
  9. You can also warm the tortillas in a microwave for a few seconds.

This is an excellent recipe! Very easy to make and each bite is a flavor party in your mouth! I skipped slicing the chicken before placing it in the slow cooker. After it was cooked, I shredded it and mixed into the sauce. This will definitely be on repeat at my house! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This recipe is awesome ! Easy to make, and the different flavors blend together perfectly. I made it as is, nothing more is needed . I made the sauce and the broccoli slaw the night before because my mornings are hectic. Quick, easy and delicious!

Yum, the chicken was wonderful , the slaw was good, after trying as is it was a touch bland so I added a bit more cider vinegar & rice vinegar, perfect, the bang bang sauce was bang on, this recipe is a keeper

Loved it … So did my whole family! . I did take a few short cuts with a ready made broccoli coleslaw but I did use the recipe for the vinaigrette to mix in with it.
