1
To cook chicken, boil water in a medium pan. When the water comes to a full boil, add chicken and bring water back to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then shut off heat and cover tightly. Leave chicken in the hot water for 30 minutes. Check chicken with a thermometer to ensure temperature is at 165 degrees. Drain and shred chicken with 2 forks into bite-sized pieces.
2
Combine cumin, coriander, garlic, dried cilantro, cayenne and salt and pepper.
3
Chop the onion and saute with green chilis in olive oil until soft. Add spice blend and toast spices. Add the shredded chicken and chopped white beans. Combine thoroughly, warm through and set aside.
4
Salsa Aioli: Puree salsa (I use mild, but adjust spiciness to your taste) in a food processor. Add to mayonnaise and stir to combine.
5
Serve chicken mixture in taco shells or corn tortillas with fresh chopped avocados, cheese, sour cream, chopped tomato, lettuce, sliced jalapenos and fresh cilantro. Top with salsa aioli.
