Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos
Ingredients:
- 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese or your favorite queso cheese
- 8-10 small flour or corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced onions, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole
Instructions:
- Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Season the Chicken:
- Evenly distribute the taco seasoning over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Add Tomatoes and Chilies:
- In a bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes with green chilies and diced green chilies. Pour this mixture over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker.
- Add Chicken Broth:
- Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and tomato-chili mixture in the slow cooker. This will add moisture and flavor to the dish.
- Set and Forget:
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
- Shred the Chicken:
- Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker. It should absorb the flavors from the taco seasoning and the tomato-chili mixture.
- Add Queso:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese or queso evenly over the shredded chicken in the slow cooker. Allow it to melt and mix well with the shredded chicken.
- Mix and Melt:
- Stir the melted cheese into the shredded chicken until it forms a creamy, cheesy mixture. Let it sit for a few minutes to ensure the cheese is fully melted.
- Warm Tortillas:
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave according to package instructions.
- Assemble Tacos:
- Spoon the queso chicken mixture into the warm tortillas. Add your favorite toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced onions, cilantro, sour cream, and guacamole.
