-From thawed, cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours or until chicken is cooked through.

TIP: Serve on steaming white corn tortillas (on your cheat day) and garnish with a dollop of low-fat sour cream, sliced fresh avocado, and some chives. So delicious with a side of organic black beans! Delicioso!
We have tested this recipe for a serving size of 6. If you are cooking for less than 6 people, decrease the amount of liquid and the cook time. If you are cooking for more than 6 people, increase the amount of liquid and the cook time. Do this and your meals will NEVER turn out dry or mushy. Happy Cooking!
Very tasty but a lot of left over liquid. Added corn starch to try and thicken but still very wet which made for a very messy taco lol. Will try again but need to figure out the extra juices
Hi MAmodeo! The juices are there so that the meat comes out flavorful and not dry. Next time, there is no need for you to include the juices in your taco. Simply drain and add the meat. Hope this helps! 🙂
Yes, that’s what we ended up doing. New to freezer fit so trying these recipes for the first time and will adjust where need to but loving the whole idea about it!
I used a pork roast. Added a dried chilli.let the grease separate. Flipped the tortillas in the grease and fried them the added the shredded pork and used my immersion blender on the sauce and dunked the tacos. yummy. Hope this was ok to say
Hi Kfarrens! Sounds amazing!! Yes, we definitely encourage customizing your own meals. So glad it turned out great! 🙂
I made this and it was delicious. After thawed, I decided to cook it in my wok instead of the crock pot. There was a lot of juice but I simply dipped it off and discarded it. It was perfect and like I say very delicious.
