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.

CHICKEN AND BEAN SOFT TACOS



Chicken and Bean Soft Tacos image

Just what this site needs - another chicken taco recipe! Here's my variation on the theme - like most recipes, it's really easy to adjust to suit your family's tastes. Cooking time is very flexible as well, sometimes I get it started and let it simmer a bit to blend the flavors, adding liquid as needed to keep it from drying out. Other times, I just throw it all together and serve it within 15 minutes.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked (chopped or shredded)
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, undrained (or kidney beans, or pinto beans)
1 cup corn
1/2 cup black olives (sliced or chopped)
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (a 4 oz can of chopped mild chiles will work also)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 -2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup water
salt (to taste)
4 -8 ounces tomato sauce (optional)
flour tortilla
sour cream
salsa
shredded cheese
guacamole

Steps:

  • saute onion in large pan till translucent. Add garlic and chopped jalapeno, saute briefly, stirring.
  • (Sometimes if I don't have cooked chicken on hand, I cut raw chicken in strips and saute it along with the onions.).
  • Add chicken, seasonings and remaining ingredients (except tortillas and toppings).
  • Cook over medium high heat, till ingredients are combined and liquid cooks down - about 5-10 minutes.
  • This timing of the cooking is flexible, depending on how much seasoning you add, how much liquid is in your beans, if you add tomato sauce, etc. I make it spicy and just wet enough that it's not dried out, but not watery or gloppy.
  • Adjust seasonings, salt to taste. (For me, it's often at this point when I decide if I want to add the taste of tomato sauce.).
  • Serve in flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.

BEAN CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME



Bean Crunchwrap Supreme image

If you are a fan of the Crunchwrap Supreme from the famous fast food chain then you've come to the right place. Not only can you make it at home for the fraction of the price, the beans are actually present. I always make 4 at a time which is perfect for the can of cheese but wrote this up for 1 serving to suit your individual needs.
