SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN AND BEAN TACOS



Slow-Cooker Chicken and Bean Tacos image

Feed your crowd without any extra fuss, that's the beauty of this recipe. With its easy dump-and-go method and all-day cook time, it's one of our favorite ways to get ahead when hosting. Letting the chicken cook all day ensures it turns out tender and makes it easy to shred. Even better, it gives you time to focus on other things, like making a delicious dessert! Because this meal is so hearty-thanks to the addition of beans-you really don't need sides. Instead, pick up your favorite taco fixings from the grocery store. You can never go wrong with guacamole, fresh limes and cheese.

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TACOS



Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos image

So I heard of people making salsa chicken and I thought I would give it a try but add a few of my own twists to it. My whole family, even the 2-year-old, loved the tacos and we ate the leftovers at our very next meal. After the mixture is cooked, fill flour tortillas with it (hard shells are great, too), add shredded Cheddar cheese on the top, and shredded lettuce.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful salsa. A good salsa will add a lot of flavor to your tacos. Choose a salsa that you enjoy the taste of.

  • Shred the chicken before serving. This will make it easier to eat.
  • Top your tacos with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
