Crockpot Southwest Chicken Tacos

I got a new crock pot for Christmas! I've had this small one that my husband won at a company party, but it never was big enough and it's shaped/designed like a football....literally. Luckily for me, my husband likes to spoil me. I now officially have a HUGE Kitchen Aid crock pot, and I'm loving it! Thus you may see some more crock pot recipes from me! I ventured over to see if Kuki's Kookbook had any fun crock pot recipes. Sure enough she had some! Yay!

I ended up trying out this yummy, easy southwest chicken taco recipe. I added the "southwest" to the title because #1 I have another chicken taco recipe I'm gonna share in the future, so I need to tell the difference between the two somehow #2 the corns & beans just yelled southwest to me! So I've designated this recipe "southwest" just because I can!

Crockpot "Southwest" Chicken Tacos
  • 2 to 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 can chicken broth
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can corn
  • 1 can black beans, drained
Place all ingredients in the crockpot for 3 to 4 hours on high. just before serving, shred chicken and mix in 1 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. it will be runny. you can serve in tortillas, taco shells, or you can fry up scones to make navajo tacos. top with- cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa, avocados, or anything else that you like.

Hints: I didn't even add in the sour cream & cheese to the mixture. I ended up just having the two on the side for those who wanted to add it to their taco. It was runny, but the flavor was delicious! We served them on warmed flour tortillas. They were SO good! My family really enjoyed it! FYI- If you don't have a crockpot, all you need to do is slice up some chicken and cook them in a skillet till done. Once chicken is done, add the remainder ingredients, cover, and let simmer on low for at least 20 minutes to soak in the flavor. I'm sure they will turn out just as good!
