Number Of Ingredients 17

THE SLOW COOKER
2 medium chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, about 1 pound
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 large jalapeno, seeded, ribs removed and diced
salt, kosher variety, taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 c filtered water
ADDITIONALS
1 Tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon (or lime) juice
ASSEMBLY
1 c colby cheese, shredded
10 medium flour tortillas, 6 inches (15cm) in diameter

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients.
  • 2. Dice the jalapeno.
  • 3. Chef's Note: When Chef Herrick told his students to dice anything, he expected it to be so perfect, you would be able to use them at a Las Vegas craps table.
  • 4. Add all of the slow cooker ingredients to bowl of your slow cooker.
  • 5. Set on low for 8 hours... and then take a nap.
  • 6. Chef's Note: You could do this on high for 4 hours; however, the flavors have a better chance of blending together on low... Low and slow is the way to go.
  • 7. After 8 hours, remove the chicken breasts and shred them by hand, or using two forks.
  • 8. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  • 9. Add the dill, and lemon juice.
  • 10. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.
  • 11. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • 12. Place about a 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the flour taco.
  • 13. Roll up tightly and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 14. Repeat for the other tacos.
  • 15. Add the Colby cheese to the top of the tacos.
  • 16. Place into the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
  • 17. Remove from the oven and serve with some sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.
  • 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

These tacos are also great for meal prep. You can make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat them throughout the week.

I like to add a bit of spice to these tacos by using a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. It gives them a nice kick without being too spicy.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make these tacos during the week.

These tacos are the perfect comfort food. They're cheesy, creamy, and oh-so-satisfying. I love serving them with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.

I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in these tacos. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was moist and tender.

These tacos are a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The cream cheese adds a rich and creamy element, while the chicken provides a savory and slightly tangy contrast. The slow cooker does all the work, making this a convenient and easy weeknig
