Here is a recipe that is perfect for football watching. Get out your crock pot on Sunday morning and you will be ready for the big game. I made this the other night and while I was cooking, I also was on FaceBook, doing laundry and setting the table. It practically cooks itself.
I used the chicken mixture for soft tacos but you could make quesadillas, burritos or enchiladas. I used chicken thighs but if you prefer white meat, go ahead and use chicken breasts. Everything goes in the pot and a few hours later you have a great meal.
Lori at The Recipe Girl is hosting The Ultimate Super Bowl Party Recipe Smackdown so this is going to her. I can't wait to see her round up on Friday. I am sure I will find a few more recipes for my Super Bowl party then. What are you doing for the Superbowl?
Crock Pot Chicken Tacos
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 jalapenos, cored and diced
2 cloves garlic , thinly sliced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
2 TBS brown sugar
¼ cup chopped cilantro
pinch of cayenne, more if you like spicy
1 tsp ground cumin
salt to taste
Put all ingredients in crock pot. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or low 6 to 8 hours. Cook until meat can be shredded easily with fork. Serve with tortillas, chopped tomatoes, lettuce, cheddar cheese, sour cream or anything you desire
I love my crockpot, will have to give this a try!
This is a perfect recipe for busy moms! I'm always afraid to cook chicken in the Crockpot because the first time I did (like 15 years ago), it wasn't good. Might be time to dust off that fear.
I wanted to thank you, Lisa, for the soups that came in the mail from your contest! I've been warning my family not to touch them for two days. I want to take a photo to post on my blog and it has been so dark and dreary here that I'm waiting for a brighter day.
I love your boy scout cake and the cars are perfect! I've never had a boy scout, but I know about the Pinewood Derby.
This looks so good, plus I love crockpot recipes! Thanks!
I love the fact that this is a make it and leave it type of meal. Sounds wonderful and very versatile.
Crockpots are the best! Oh I bet this would be delicious in enchiladas or even over a big plate of nachos!
Great idea for the Super Bowl party!
Oh great recipe Lisa!!! I love having good crock pot recipes on hand! Looks yum!
Lisa, this lkooks good. I'll have to give it a try.
These look great and have all the flavours that I love. ๐
That looks like a great filling! I'm hosting the Super Bowl too with some chicken wings & pizza then everyone else is bringing dips
Perfect for the big game!!
Seems easy and delicious! I wonder if the breasts would be too dry. My honey does not like dark meat chicken.
Oh, how I wish that I saw this post 4 hours ago! I actually googled "slow cooker chicken tacos" this morning, but didn't find anything that wowed me, so I ended up throwing some frozen chicken into the crock pot with some salsa and Rotel tomatoes. Next time I am going to make these -- this is exactly what I was looking for!
Good luck with the contest I think you have a winner here!
The chicken sounds delicious. I love making shredded meat for my Mexican meals.
When I see recipes like this I'm always ashamed at how little I use my crock pot
I am so excited about this. You have no idea!
I love how thinly shreded that chicken is! It made me crave mexican food!
I'm coming to your house for Superbowl, this looks delicious!
I am so loving anything crockpotable these days as I seem to have no time to really cook! Thanks for the recipe.
This looks so good!!! As well as my kitchen is equipped, I do not own a crockpot! Just nervous about leaving it going while at work ;(
Hey Lisa! I was looking forward to this one. I know that this is one recipe I can get everyone to eat. I love one pot wonders! Cousin Tracey
I will be making this for sure, it looks too good to pass up!
Ahh, the ever versatile slow cooker...rendering everything flaky and tender.
These look fab & I'm hungry again.
omg...these look SO good!
Lisa, great minds must think alike! I was going to do carnitas in the crockpot for Super Bowl Sunday! This looks delish! And what a coincidence, next week I am cooking all latin food, how very convenient! ๐
Ohhh man. I love tacos. These look great! You know what the best part about tacos? Putting sour cream on them. This is a fairly recent discovery for me.
Awesome! They had to be some reallllly good tacos!
Lisa,
I have a great and healthy Superbowl Snack-a-thon going on all day today.

I really have to get a crock pot... I can't believe all the great recipes I miss out on, including this one. YUM!
