Craving tacos but running short on time? Pop them in the slow cooker and forget about it until the smell fills your kitchen to remind you that Taco Tuesday (on a Thursday) awaits! For beginner weaners who aren't accustom to holding a taco together these can also be altered to make beginner friendly "nachos"!

 

Ingredients

  • 8-10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • Medium can diced tomatoes
  • Small can green chilies
  • 1 package taco seasoning or 4 tbsp homemade taco seasoning
  • ½ cup chicken broth or ½ cup water + chicken stock
  • ½ cup Queso (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 cup packed baby spinach, finely chopped
  • Pico de Gallo or salsa as optional topping

Method

  1. Place chicken in crock pot in one layer and sprinkle seasoning over them.
  2. Layer the spinach on top.
  3. Mix all other ingredients in a bowl (excluding queso) and pour over the chicken.
  4. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6. Ladle out the majority of the liquid and discard.
  5. Shred the chicken with two forks, add the queso and mix, serve in taco shells. Top with pico de Gallo or salsa and sour cream, if desired.
