My family loves these tacos. The chicken filling cooks in the slow-cooker, so it’s convenient to throw it together before I leave for work. At the end of the day, I just have to roll it up in a tortilla with the remaining ingredients and dinner’s ready in minutes. The chicken also makes a great topping for salad. -Cheryl Newendorp, Pella, Iowa

I often mash 2 similar recipes together in an attempt to make a good recipe even better. After reading the bland reviews, I made a few revisions. I substituted a 10 oz can of enchilada sauce for the tomato sauce-it seemed like a more natural choice. I had large chicken breasts on hand, so I cut them into large strips. I used twice the garlic powder & onion. I added a tablespoon of dried cilantro. A similar recipe called Lime Chicken Tacos uses 1 cup of chunky salsa and 1 cup of frozen corn at the end of cooking after shredding the meat. That appealed to me for flavor & texture, plus adding veggies is always a good thing. The chicken was moist & very flavorful. This was a cinch..thanks TOH! Another winner, winner...chicken dinner!

I used boneless skinless chicken breast and more seasoning after reading the other reviews... Mine turned out very flavorful. Glad I tried it the family loved it!

This was o.k., I agree it is kind of bland. I wouldn't make it again after finding the slow cooker recipe" Lime Chicken Tacos" from this site. It is much more flavorful and calls for boneless, skinless chicken breasts which I prefer for this type of recipe-all white meat tacos.

I am not sure why but my family found this to be very bland. For the work you do removing the skin from the chicken and then shredding the meat from the bone after cooking I do not think this recipe is worth the trouble. The flavor was just not there for us. Sorry.

This recipe is DELICIOUS! I used dried sliced garlic instead, and added some black beans. Great recipe!

These tacos are so easy to make and oh so good. I have made them several times, brought them to pot luck work, they are always eaten up.
