Chili Chicken Tacos



These tacos may look ordinary but it is the meat that makes them great! They are so simple to make if you can just remember to put your meat in your crockpot 4 hours before you are ready to eat. Don't worry if the ingredients look like it is going to be spicy. They are not very spicy at all and have great flavor.

Ingredients:
2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 garlic cloves - or 4 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup prepared tomato salsa
1 to 2 tbl chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1 tbl chili powder
salt and pepper
Taco shells or tortillas
Cilantro, lettuce, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, olives, etc for garnish

Directions:
  • In a slow cooker, combine chicken, garlic, salsa, chiles, chilli powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper. Cover; cook on high, 4 hours (or on low 8 hours)
  • Transfer chickn to a serving bowl and shred using two forks; moisten with cooking juices. (All the hot spice is on the skin - if you do not want it to be too hot take off the skin before you shred.)
  • Serve in taco shells or tortillas with toppings.
