Chicken tacos! These are so flavorful and easy to make. Let the crockpot do the cooking and when you are ready to eat, it’s just a few minutes to put everything together.
I love Chicken tacos! They are such a nice change from the regular ground beef tacos. Also, they can cook away in the crock pot when you are busy getting other things done. For some reason, I just think they are a lot lighter and ‘fresher’ tasting than traditional ones.
Shredded chicken Mexican taco Tasty, fresh and easy to make!
These are so versatile! They are great when you know you have a busy day and you can assemble this recipe and let the chicken cook.
Perfect for winters. It makes your house smell so good. Everyone will be hungry by the time you serve these! Also, these are great for those days where everyone eats at different times. The meat can be kept on warm and everyone can serve themselves when needed.
Don’t you think chicken tacos could also be a perfect option for those football Sundays?
Ooopsie, I just noticed something! There’s no cheese on my tacos! That’s just because I don’t always put cheese on mine so I totally forgot to put it out. Or take pictures of it. But, I’m sure you guys are all perfectly able to put grated cheese on your tacos! No need for a detailed picture of that step :).
Get out the crockpot and let’s start making our chicken tacos.

This looks good although it’s not low calories. That’s o.k. I get a lot of pleasure just looking at all your lovely photos. BTW, I love grey and cloudy days. Being from the Puget Sound area of Washington State, I miss them down here in the Valley of the Sun. We love rain when it comes and the overcast makes it cozy staying inside and fiddling around with reading, cooking and just being here.

Yum! Now I am craving chicken! I love roasting whole chickens on Sunday evenings, and I always use the bones to make a broth. It’s a great way to have a surplus of broth in the freezer, and it’s so handy when anyone in my house gets sick! I will try this recipe the next Sunday I roast a chicken
