Smoky Chipotle Chicken Tacos in the Slow Cooker

By Addie

Oh yum! We’ll be eating these frequently. They have the ease of a slow cooker meal and the crowd-pleasing taste of Mexican food. They are similar to Chicken Fiesta with Black Beans and Chicken Tacos and Salsa Verde Steak. But they also have a bit more heat (not so much to make them too hot for the kids) and a delicious smoky flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts – about 1 1/2 lbs.
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, peeled and sliced
• 1 can Fire Roasted diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped (not the whole can, just 1 pepper)
• 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
• Flour tortillas
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Lettuce, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all of the ingredients together in the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
Serve in tortillas with cheese and lettuce, if desired.

I needed to serve these with a slotted spoon and thought I could have added a small can of tomato paste to thicken the sauce, but it was fine as it was.
