Gluten Free-zer Crock Pot Chicken Tacos



Gluten Free-zer Crock Pot Chicken Tacos!!

These turned our great!

I cut the roof of my mouth on a regular corn shell taco. Am I the only one that does this? I don't know hot pizza and tacos have it out for me. :)
So anyhow I decided to put everything into romaine lettuce and Oh My Goodness I'm hooked. 
These things were great!

Crunchy! Strong! Delicious!
If you haven't tried this definitely try one.
{and let me know what you think}


Ingredients

  • 3 boneless chicken breasts (This made a ton for us and we had to freeze the leftovers)
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning (I make my own My Taco Seasoning Recipe)
  • 1 can of rotel tomatoes or you can chop up fresh tomatoes and season as you like fresh is always better
  • 1/2 cup of water (original recipe called for 1/4 of water and 1/4 of oil i don't like to add oil)
Put your seasoning in the bottom of the pot.{Doodles optional} Place your frozen chicken tomato mix on top and cover. As you can see my frozen mixture didn't want to lay flat in the bottom this is why they recommend you thaw in the fridge over night. However this cooked just as awesome within a few minutes it had thawed enough and was flat in the bottom of my pot!

Directions

  1. In your crock pot pour the taco seasoning place chicken on top and pour tomatoes over the top following with water/oil mixture. Don't stir.
  2. Halfway through if you are home you can flip the chicken but it's not necessary. I didn't and the chicken was perfect.
    After the the meat is done just shred the chicken stir and serve on shells or lettuce.

This is what the chicken looks like in the end. Honestly all you need do is stir and the chicken shreds itself.
Serve with all your favorite topping!

Tip! I know the writing is messy but you can write directions for your meals on the fronts of the freezer bags then when you pull it out you don't even have to fumble with a recipe!
I hope you enjoy these tacos as much as my family has. 
Like I said it made a ton. We had them for dinner two nights and I had them for lunch one day and we still have enough left over for one more meal which I will freeze for a day when I just don't feel like being in the kitch!

Giving credit where credit is due I found this recipe on Who Needs A Cape.

What is your favorite Crock Pot Taco recipe??

    1. Yes we too have a picky eater here and it's really hard to get her to even try new things. We love the hot stuff here as well and so we always load our tacos up with hot sauce after too. I think her tongue is just way way too picky. :) Let's hope they grow out of it soon.
