Crockpot Fajita Tacos

I've actually been making these fajita tacos for years.  My friend, Sherri, introduced them to me long ago.  Thank you for that, Sherri!  They've always remained a family favorite!

I've just made one small change - I now cook my chicken in the crockpot instead of boiling it on the stove top.  The chicken is so much more moist and tender, and it shreds so much easier.

And simple...these are so simple and so delicious! 

Serve with a side of Refried Beans, Spanish Rice, and Guacamole, or just gobble 'em up all by themselves!





Ingredients:

3-4 Boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts

1 Taco Bell Fajita Seasoning Packet (You might like 2 if you want more flavor)

Wheat Tortillas

Grated Cheese

Lettuce

Tomato

Avocado (Optional)

Light Sour Cream (Optional)

Guacamole (Optional)


Directions:

Place chicken in crockpot;

Pour Fajita seasoning in a small bowl;

Fill packet with water twice and mix well;  (This way you get all of the seasoning out of your packet)

Pour over chicken;

Cook on low for 4-6 hours; (Depending on your crockpot)

When done, shred chicken;

On a wheat tortilla - add chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and any other toppings you might like;

Fold or roll tortilla, and savor these delicious tacos!

Devilled Chicken

OMGoodness!  If you have not tried this one - do it now! 
 
I found this recipe on All Recipes.com, and it's got to be one of the best I've tried! 
 
Once again, I changed it up just a bit, but my family absolutely loved it!  My hubby stood up, rubbed his belly, and said "Eeelicious!"  *smile*
 
My youngest daughter is already asking for it again, and I just fixed it this past week!
 
It's kind of like "Devilled Eggs" meats "Chicken"!  And so the story begins...
 




Ingredients:

3-4 Chicken Breasts

½ cup of Mayonnaise

2-3 T. Yellow Mustard

2-3 drops Tabasco Sauce

Bread Crumbs

Parmesan Cheese

Mrs. Dash Original

Black Pepper

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees;

Cut chicken breasts into filets or cutlets;

In a shallow bowl or on a plate, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and Tabasco sauce;

In a deeper bowl, combine your bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, Mrs. Dash, and Black Pepper;

Coat both sides of your chicken with the mayo/mustard mixture;

Then coat with bread crumb mixture;

Place on sprayed cookie sheet covered with foil;

Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, depending on your oven;

Eat up and enjoy!
