My slow cooker chicken tacos recipe is one of the easiest dinners ever to put together! Seriously 10 minutes to start, let it cook all day, and then another 10 minutes to put it together and you have dinner on the table. Yes, it really is that easy!
I simply love coming home from work and having dinner good to go! Just today after school/work, we had a doctors appointment, a water polo game, homework, and taekwondo to add into the afternoon and evening mix. On days like this, the best way to ensure a healthy dinner is to pull out my trusty slow cooker.
I honestly don’t use my slow cooker enough, and every time I use it – I shake my head in surprise. Surprise with myself in that I don’t use my slow cooker more often. I think the problem is that years ago I tried a number of recipes, and I wasn’t that happy with the results. Fortunately over time, I have found ones that I really do like and that are total recipe keepers. My slow cooker chicken tacos recipe is a keeper for sure.
An added bonus of this recipe is that with the veggies in the taco fixings and a topping of shredded cabbage you are set for a healthy and delicious dinner. If you like tomatoes add a few chopped tomatoes on the top as well! I had some guacamole in the fridge that needed to be used up, so that went on as a topping. A side of sliced melon adds a touch of sweetness for dessert.
When I had the chance to interview Ellie Kreiger of the Food Network she shared with me her recipe for Chicken with White Bean and Vegetable Simmer.
That was the first time that I had tried a recipe with Campbell’s Healthy Requests Condensed Tomato Soup as an ingredient.
I loved it in the Chicken with White Bean and Vegetable Simmer, so I have tried it in a few other recipes. Along with salsa, the soup makes a super easy and tasty base for today’s tacos.
Fast, delicious, and healthy – this has got it all!
