  • 1 cup jarred queso or cheese dip
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Small flour or corn tortillas
  • Toppings: shredded lettuce diced tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning, garlic powder, and cumin.
  2. Pour the diced tomatoes with green chilies over the top, then spoon the queso evenly across the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and easy to shred.
  4. Shred the chicken with two forks and mix well with the sauce in the cooker.
  5. Serve in warmed tortillas and top with your favorite taco toppings.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken and jarred queso for an even quicker version.
  • Add a squeeze of lime or chopped cilantro for freshness.
  • Make it low-carb by serving in lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
