When people think of "easy healthy recipes", tacos don't usually come to mind. That's because they haven't tried these Crockpot Chicken Tacos!
Tacos can really be and healthy or as unhealthy as you want them to be. If you use deep-fried taco shells and load them up with beef, cheese and sour cream - then they will be a diet disaster. But swap out the taco shells for flour tortillas, make them with chicken instead of beef and load them with lettuce, tomato and just a little cheese? You end up with a much healthier dinner!
To make these Crockpot Chicken Tacos, you will need:
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Corn Starch
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 12 Tortillas or Taco Shells
- Your favorite toppings
Making them is easy:
Just add all the ingredients to your slow cooker and cook on low for about 4-5 hours or until chicken falls apart easily.
Remove chicken breasts, shred with 2 forks and return chicken to the slow cooker. Cook for another 30 minutes.
