On days when I know I will be running behind schedule I try to plan for quick meals or meals that can be made ahead in my slow cooker.  When I was challenged by Old El Paso to put a different twist on tacos, I decided to add one of my favorite ingredients, chicken, as the meat.  Making the filling in the slow cooker means I will have a dinner ready within forty minutes of arriving home–just throw a couple of more ingredients in and shred the chicken.  It also means I don’t have to worry about anything during the day I can spend ten minutes fixing the chicken in the morning and forget about it for the day.

Use a slow cooker to make a delicious, different filling for tacos. The chicken will be tender and the added salsa and corn give it a unique texture.

  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 package Old El Paso taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 12 flour tortillas, warmed
  • Sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, onion, tomato and guacamole, optional ingredients
Instructions
  1. Place chicken in slow cooker. Mix together lime juice, taco seasoning mix and water. Pour over chicken. Cook on low for five hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken and shred with fork. Place chicken back into slow cooker and add salsa and corn. Cook for 30 minutes on low until warmed through. Place on tortillas and add optional toppings, as desired.
