Taco Enchilada Chicken

Prep Time 0 min
Cook Time 6 hours
Total Time 6 hours

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken breasts
  • 1 pack of taco seasoning mix (use Ortega or any other brand)
  • 1 10oz can red enchilada sauce
  • Optional Ingredients
  • Optional Toppings
    • Blended cottage cheese

Note: use liquid wisely if you're looking for drier consistency. I used 19 oz can, and couldn't make my burritos, while the taste was still good. I wouldn't replace enchilada sauce with anything, for now.

Process

  • Add chicken in crockpot and rub spices on both sides
  • Add rest of the ingredients and set on high for 6 hours
  • Once done, shred chicken with 2 forks and mix it back in the pot
  • Serve it over pasta, rice, tacos or even nachos!

Note: I may have texture preferences. Some people recommend using hand blender to shred chicken. I didn't like it, so I prefer using forks. It doesn't take long.

Storage

TBD

Feedback

It's ok so far. I like it, but it needs something more that I need to figure out. Based on consistency, it will work well for tacos, and may be nachos. A little runny though. Will try reducing the amount of sauce used.
