YUM. I'm always weak for mexican but I thought these took my basic chicken tacos up a few notches, without any extra effort.
I found the recipe here - http://sherj.blogspot.com/search/label/tacos
KA's Crockpot Chicken Tacos
All you need:
3 chicken breasts
1 package of taco seasoning
1 can of diced tomatoes with green chiles
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup of olive oil
Directions:
Set crockpot on low. Add Taco Seasoning. Put chicken breasts on top of the taco seasoning. Add the tomatoes, water and oil. Leave in crockpot for 6-8 hours. Around the sixth hour, turn up heat to high. (I don't remember how I cooked it, but probably just on high for a few hours and it still tasted great!)
This step is optional: Pour contents of crockpot in a a deep skillet (including liquid.) Push chicken pieces to the sides of the pan, leaving a 'hole filled with sauce'. Add two tablespoons of flour or cornstarch to the 'hole' for thickening the sauce. As the sauce thickens, shred chicken with 2 forks. (I added a little cornstarch just into the crockpot and mixed it in with the liquid a little).

I like to fry my own taco shells. They taste so much better, especially with this chicken! So heat your oil over medium heat until when you place a corner of the tortilla in it will bubble. Cook your corn tortilla for 30 seconds, flip and fold cooking 30 more seconds on each side. Drain on paper towel. (I like them a little flimsy). Topped with monterey jack cheese and lettuce. It was delicious!
