Crockpot Chicken Tacos
By John Crowley
This family-friendly meal is so easy. Slow cooking the chicken infuses so much flavor. Use this recipe for tacos or for ultra-low-carb taco salad.

-
1-2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 can red enchilada sauce
-
1 can diced green chilis
-
3/4 cup diced onion
-
Whole wheat flour tortillas
-
Toppings:
-
Grated cheddar cheese
-
Diced Tomatoes
-
Shredded lettuce
-
Sour Cream
-
Salsa
Place chicken, enchilada sauce, green chilis, and onion in crockpot. Cook on low heat for 3-4 hours. When fully cooked, shred chicken with fork.
Serve on warm whole wheat tortillas and top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
If you are running high, you can easily turn this into a very low-carb taco salad by simply eliminating the tortilla.

Here is a link to see what diced green chilies we use. (But really, any will do.)

this looks great, i have to try this recipe soon. i do have to say it will be the first time it took 3-4 hour to make chicken taco.
the crockpot chicken tacos receipe includes 1cup of green chiles…the problem is therer's 50 different types of green chiles. tough decission for a latino lieme to make..can i get a specification.
Cant' wait to try! Yummm
I found there is a profound difference in taste between red enchilada sauce made with tomato and those made with red chiles. After eating the red chiles the tomato tastes awful. I use red chile version of red enchilada sauce as a base for my soups.
This looks really good. It is on my short list to make.
sounds good i like tacos,after i eat up the chile from days ago i will enjoy this.
We tried them too. They were great—a little spicy for an old lady like me :-)
I tried this recipe last night and it was delicious. I left out the sour cream but added some hot salsa and it was great!
Sounds delicious. I will try it tomorrow!

LOVE this one. Sounds very similar to one I do however I first grill the chicken to get extra flavor. Leave out the tortilla and it's a great taco salad. I also top with diced black olives. (about a 1/4 teaspoon)
Sounds good.
will write this down.thanks.
This is a keeper!
Sounds even better as a taco salad. I am going to try it this week.
