CHICKEN SOFT TACOS RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT

Chicken Soft Tacos Recipe: How to Make It image

My family loves these tacos. The chicken filling cooks in the slow-cooker, so it’s convenient to throw it together before I leave for work. At the end of the day, I just have to roll it up in a soft taco shell with the remaining ingredients and dinner’s ready in minutes. The chicken also makes a great topping for salad. —Cheryl Newendorp, Pella, Iowa
