Today was Day #2 of our Clean Eating Crockpot Recipe, and these spicy southwest shredded chicken tacos were ah-mazing!
I thought they were going to be a little too soupy, but the liquid kept the chicken really moist and when serving with a slotted spoon the tacos stayed almost entirely liquid free. I used a little bit of avocado & some greek yogurt on top of mine and they came out so good! The southwest seasoning is delicious also, flavorful but not too spicy (I didn’t use the Cayenne pepper, which you can if you want some more kick!)
This recipe serves 6, and each serving is (2) southwest shredded chicken tacos!
