Ingredients

  • 3 Large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs about 2.5 lbs
  • 1 Yellow Onion, diced
  • 2 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 4 oz Can Diced Green Chilies
  • 30 Count Corn tortilla
  • 3 7.06 oz Bags of Chihuahua Cheese

Seasonings

  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Chili Powder
  • Smoked Paprika
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Oregano
  • 2 Packets of Sazon

Instructions

  • Place the chicken in the crockpot and use all of the above listed seasonings. I do not measure, but it is approximately 2-3 tbs of each. You cannot over season this!
  • Add the onion, the green chilies and the chicken broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • Once the chicken is done, shred it up and stir it into the juices in the crockpot
  • Heat a non-stick skillet to medium heat.
  • Sprinkle 1-2 tbs of the cheese into the skillet, then place a tortilla on top of it, pressing down to adhere the cheese to it.
  • Sprinkle some more cheese on the entire circumference of the tortilla and about 2 tbs of the chicken mixture on half.
  • Fold the tortilla in half and flip once, cooking until the cheese is golden brown and toasty on both sides.
  • Repeat this step for each taco.
  • Fill with desired fillings and enjoy!

Notes

I like to use some fresh pico de gallo, some guacamole and cilantro as filling for the tacos. I also like to serve them with a side of Spanish Rice and Refried beans.
