I don't make tacos with the result, I use it on taco salads for lunch and dinner all week...and when I have some in the summer from my garden I toss in some minced habanero/serrano/jalepeno - whatever is ripe that week...instead of sour cream on my salad I use bleu cheese or ranch dressing...yum Sun, 01 May 2005 20:50:38 GMT http://crockpotcooking.tribe.net/thread/a2a8615b-dfaf-4fe8-840f-3136b0bb43fb#cd169f59-95ba-4ec7-b05f-94d138dfc0ac Diane 2005-05-01T20:50:38Z http://crockpotcooking.tribe.net/thread/a2a8615b-dfaf-4fe8-840f-3136b0bb43fb#69f2d0ad-ed66-4c46-bbf6-e60954bfdc7f I did a variation on this recipe yesterday, not because I wanted to, but because I forgot to buy crushed tomatoes w/ peppers. I had already greased the crock (doesn't that sound dirty?) and added the taco seasoning, so I wasn't about to turn back. Hmmm . . . what do I have in the pantry? Campbells soup? Maybe that would work. What else is there? Hmmm. Here's something: one can of pineapple slices and one can of mandarin orange slices. Interesting. Maybe I will have Hawaiian Chicken Tacos. I added a dash or two of clove dust just for kicks. It turned out pretty tasty. The crock pot did its magic on the meat making it ever so succulent, and the odd medley of spices and sugars made an interesting diversion from the norm. I am beginning to think that a crock pot can do no evil. Maybe that's food for another thread . . . what evil had your crock pot done? I will leave that for the interested reader.

I have $0.02 never-the-less. I am thinking that if you put the meat in frozen, have it on low, and put in a lot of mass (a couple pounds of meat) you should be fine. I cooked about 1/2 of this recipe, and it was done in about 6 hours. Had I cooked it longer, perhaps it would have shredded more easily.

LOL @ me! You could do that; it would be fine. I prepare the chicken a little differently. I don't cook the chicken breasts with tomatoes, but with onion, garlic, thyme, cumin (lots of cumin!

I say that because I make chicken enchiladas with a similarly cooked chicken, except that I cook them on the stove. LOL I never think to get out my crock pot to cook them... Basically to make enchiladas, you would use the same method of cooking the chicken, shred the chicken, add rice, refried beans, grated cheese (either mexican cheese or cheddar), and enchilada sauce to make a filling. Then you use 6" tortillas, either flour (which my kids prefer) or corn (which is more authentic) and roll the filling up in them, about 1/2 C per tortilla. Pour some enchilada sauce in the bottom of the pan you will use, a 9x14" pan (I think mine is 8x12"). place the rolls side by side the length of the pan and cover with the rest of the sauce. I use one of the large cans, or 2 smaller cans. Then cover with more grated cheese, whatever kind you used in the filling. Put, uncovered, in a 350-degree oven for about 30-40 minutes or until heated thoroughly. I think the last time I cooked them it actually took me 45 minutes. I have a lot of Hispanic naighbors. I fixed these for a Complex picnic last summer and they told me that they were very authentic. Heh... there weren't any left. My daughter couldn't go, so it was a good thing I had left a few home for her!

Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Two cans of crushed tomatoes with peppers (you could use the kind without peppers, but why?) I package taco seasoning. Put everything in the crockpot, mix it all up and set it on medium for several hours. When the chicken shreds easily with a fork it is done. Serve with tortillas (I use corn) top with some shredded cheese, sour cream...maybe avocado...mmmmm. They are yummy and even better as leftovers. ;) If you try it out, let me know how it turns out for you.
