I love a good chicken tacos. Making them in the slow cooker is the easiest way to make them. These slow cooker chicken tacos are even better because they include queso!
Now, this chicken is well seasoned with taco seasoning, Ro*tel, green chiles, and chicken broth. This is all of what the chicken cooks in. After it finishes cooking, you drain off most of the cooking liquid, shred the chicken, and mix in the jarred queso.
This is a great meal to serve around Halloween.The queso gives the chicken a nice orange color. Then, you can serve it in crisp blue corn tortillas. The blue corn almost looks black. It’s a fun and festive way to change up taco night.
