What I’m Cooking: Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

Last night for dinner I made a really easy recipe that I came up with. Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos. It was a little dry, so next time I might add some butter or oil to the mix to see if that will keep the chicken more moist. We had chips and salsa and an amazing rice dish that I found on allrecipes.com. It’s a personal recipe (not published, although it should be) and it’s called Sarah’s Special Cilantro-Lime Rice. We love it. We loved the meal. So easy and warm for a winter night. We have a bunch of tortillas left over, so I will probably end up making regular beef tacos next week to use those up. I like when decisions like that are made for me! Sometimes I get tired of meal planning, as much as I like to cook. Here is my recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Filling:

  1. I have never thought about putting taco meat in a slow cooker. What a great idea for a quick work day meal! Thanks!

     
  2. We haven't has any kind of tacos or mexican food in a while. That cilantro lime rice looks good. I love rice!

     
  3. What brand of taco shells/tortillas do you use? My son is so sensitive, I'm afraid to try something on the fly. Your blog is an absolute Godsend!

     
  4. Well, unfortunately, this isn't a low-FODMAP recipe, if that's what you are looking for. This is one I posted before going on my special diet, but I think we used to eat it with just soft flour tortillas.
