Southwest Chicken Taco Filling
Published by July 24th, 2009 in 4 Stars, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Family Recipe, Heart Healthy, Latin, Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex and Poultry. ClosedThis chicken taco filling is quite good, and it’s made in the crockpot. It’s important to use a flavorful salsa (I used Arriba! Fire Roasted Mexican Chipotle Salsa), and DO NOT use a mild salsa as there just isn’t enough flavor. After the dish is cooked squeeze some fresh lime juice to give the dish [...]
