I made these tacos in my crock pot and they turned out amazing! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken for tofu. The tacos were still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the tacos turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These tacos were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of black beans, but I really enjoyed these tacos. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the black beans added a nice texture.
