Boring boring boring. Followed recipe exactly.
What is the best way to reheat from frozen?
Very straight forward and easy! I add a teaspoon of dried oregano to mine and more garlic
SO good! I made this in a mini crock pot for a taco bar with friends, Turned out great. Only change is I used boneless thighs and added some homemade roasted hatch chilis.
Very good, my son asked for it for days. The flavor was even better the day after and I also used the suggestion from another review to make nachos with it! Will make again!
I texted the recipe to my wife. She made two batches. One pork and the other chicken. I finished them both even though each one had about 3 servings. Absolutely delicious and now she will make 4 days worth each time. I sent the recipe out to friends and family. thank you!
Delicious! I just made a trial batch of this since I plan to make a large batch for a graduation party. I was looking for a crockpot shredded chicken taco recipe and decided to adapt this one – it was easy and turned out great! I used all ingredients as written except for substituting chicken broth for the water as others suggested. I just put everything in the crockpot raw, leaving the chicken in large pieces. 6 hours on low and it shredded easily with a fork. I just had to simmer a bit to reduce the liquid afterwards on my stove. So good!!!! It has tons of flavor but safe for a crowd since no heat.
Outstanding, quick, chicken taco recipe. I use chicken thighs rather than breasts for a richer taste.
Just amazing! Kids loved it! Very easy to make
I’ve made this recipe many times. Always follow recipe exactly. My family loves it. It’s delicious!!!
