Chile Lime Chicken Tacos

I found this recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it a bit to my liking...

Ingredients:

  • 1 can diced green chilies
  • green salsa (about 1/2 cup)
  • 4 cloves minced garlic (or garlic powder if desired)
  • 1 1/2 Tb chili powder
  • 3 T lime juice
  • 1 diced medium onion
  • 2 lbs chicken breasts or tenderloins, boneless/skinless
  • brown sugar (to your liking-I used about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 can refried beans, warmed
  • Desired toppings: lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, olives
  • 10 Tostada shells
Directions:
  • Put Chicken and onion in crockpot.
  • In bowl, combine chillies, garlic, chili powder, lime juice, green salsa.
  • Pour over chicken
  • Cook on low 5-6 hours
  • Remove chicken to Kitchenaid with paddle, turn on to shred for a few seconds.
  • I wanted the chicken a little sweeter so I added brown sugar to the sauce here.
  • Add 1/2-3/4 c juice from crockpot to chicken.
  • Layer on tostada shells: refried beans, chicken, etc.
These are so easy and so yummy!
Also, if you happen to have a favorite recipe for black bean, corn, and avocado salsa-ADD IT! It was SUCH a good topping on these.
