Crockpot Chicken Tacos

I love using my crockpot and recently got a new one, so I decided to test it out with this yummy recipe for chicken taco meat.  This recipe makes a lot, and freezes and reheats well.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I used the 21 Day Fix southwestern seasoning, see below)
3/4 cup diced onion
1 14.5 ounce can diced fire roasted tomatoes
1 4.5 ounce can chopped green chilies
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Corn tortillas
Toppings - cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, etc.


Instructions:

1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.  Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
2. Top with diced onion and then pour tomatoes over the top.
3. Top with the undrained green chilies.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
5. Remove lid from crockpot and shred the chicken with two forks.
6. Add cilantro and mix to combine.
7. Warm tortillas in the microwave.  Add chicken and top with your choice of toppings.



21 Day Fix Southwestern Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
