Slow cooker chicken taco recipe. Ground chicken with vegetables and cheese cooked in a slow cooker. Easy and delicious! This mouthwatering chicken taco recipe adapted from https://sweetcsdesigns.com/slow-cooker-chicken-taco-bowls/

I have a great way to make homemade chicken taco bowls that are super yummy and super easy! All you have to do is put it in the slow cooker and let the flavors come together. You can use the chicken in lots of different meals – like tacos, salads, rice bowls, or even in Mexican-style pasta or enchiladas and burritos.

It’s sure to be a hit with your family!

Ingredients:

To make slow cooker chicken taco bowls, you need ground chicken, onion, bell peppers, zucchini, taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, and cilantro.

Ground chicken is the main source of protein and gives the bowls flavor. Onion adds a savory and sweet taste. Bell peppers make the dish crunchy and give it nutrients like vitamins A and C. Zucchini also adds flavor and tenderness.

Taco seasoning blends spices like chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder to make it taste like a classic taco.

Tomatoes and green chilies give it tanginess and heat. Cheese adds richness and a melty texture, and cilantro gives a fresh, citrus-like flavor. Put all these ingredients in a slow cooker and enjoy!

Cooking Slow Cooker Chicken Taco

Gather your ingredients and get ready to make the tastiest taco bowls! First, brown the chicken. Put pieces of chicken in a pan and let them cook and get crumbly. Then, put the crumbled-up chicken, diced vegetables, and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Cook on low for four hours, or on high for 2 1/2 hours. Finally, once the chicken and veggies are cooked, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and cilantro, and enjoy!

You can make this recipe even better by adding zucchini or other vegetables. Walnuts, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots all taste great. For a vegan version, use vegan cheese, zucchini, or eggplant instead of chicken, and soy crumbles instead of chicken. Enjoy!
