We also have a Taco Tuesday celebration every week at our house. Most of the time we have taco salad, but we just tried a yummy shredded chicken taco that I have to share with you. It is perfect to make in the heat of the summer since there is not a lot of cooking involved - just throw it in the crock pot and let it cook!
Ingredients:
-1 can diced tomatoes (I used the chili flavored)
-1/3 cup brown sugar
-2 chicken breast halves (about 1 pound total)
In a crock pot mix together 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Mix until all sugar has dissolved. Add in two chicken breasts halves and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Cook time is the same for frozen or thawed chicken, I don't know how it works but its the magic of the crock pot!
OPTIONAL - if you want to spice it up add red pepper flakes to taste.
About 1/2 hour before you want to eat shred the chicken using two forks. Try not to eat it all before dinner!
Serve in a taco shell, over chips, in a tortilla, enchiladas, or in a burrito. Mix with cheese, beans, shredded lettuce, avocados or guacamole, sweet rice, or any thing else you like with your Mexican food!
This serves 4 adult humans. Enjoy!
