Now you may stuff these tacos with anything you please, but here’s a little secret from one foodie to another: Make the most gloriously simple chicken taco filling by popping 3-4 chicken breasts into your slow cooker in the morning. Drizzle with Old El Paso™ enchilada sauce and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours, then shred and stick this chick in your tacos. You will not be not-sad. And by that, I mean you will be happy! Seriously taco happy.
