I made this and then used Taco boats with some salad and sour cream to serve instead of serving with rice
Kids loved them and they were delicious!
We love this. In the slow cooker now making my partner’s lunches. Perfect with the rice.
Did this with burritos! Was so damn good!
Just had this for dinner tonight. Delicious and so very easy to make. Added a cup each of frozen sliced beans and corn kernels, and half a chopped capsicum for last half hour of cooking for a complete one-pot meal.
I did this and it was a massive success but I doubled up on all the ingredients and used 2 small whole chickens or you could use 1 large . Put it on auto in the morning and left it all day. About an hour before dinner I lifted the chickens out and stripped all the meat off which was very easy as it was so moist and returned it to the slow cooker very versatile dish we had it with rice and following night with nachos and cheese and there was even some left for a wrap for lunch. I reckon you could even add some red kidney beans for extra thrifty Ness.
We love this, but use only 2 or 3 fillets so it’s nice and saucy. Very versatile meal.
This was delicious!
I added diced onion and stirred through sour cream before serving. The kids loved it too 🙂
Delicious! Really easy to make. Made enchiladas with this and they tasted amazing!
How long all up to cook chicken breast 2 4 or 6 hrs on high
It’ll depend on your cooker but I think 4 would be heaps! 🙂
Made this the other day. Absolutely delicious! Served on a bed of rice. Hubby not normally fond of anything other than meat and 3 veg but surprised me by asking for it to be made again
If you’re making a dump bag, does it all go in the bag?
Yes that should be ok (without the last 2 ingredients of course) 🙂
Super easy recipe. Set & forget! We had on soft tortillas with grated cheese & sour cream = delish!
This is one of the most favourite recipes in our house. We do it at least once a month. We make it into wraps with grated cheese and cook it in the sandwich toaster. Topped with avocado and sour cream 🤤
Made this again for the family whilst camping! so simple and tasty! favourite one for us!
What can I say but YummmmmmmmO….will definitely be making this Deliciousness again 😋
Chicken breast x5 that I defrosted overnight. Searched for recipes in SC App using ingredients I had in the pantry!
Voila – Mexican chicken wraps.
Cooked on high for 4.5hr. Turned chicken over after 2hr, gently stirring sauce as per recipe. Plenty of leftovers! I had diced tomatoes not crushed and I used 1x jar.mild salsa 🍅 also used salt.rediced taco seasoning mix Everyone enjoyed the meal & also easy in this extremely hot weather in Sydney 🥵
Thanks for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback Tracey! 🙂
Fast and easy dinner that everyone enjoyed!
We served on tortilla wraps 🌯
With lettuce 🥬 tomato 🍅 red onion 🧅 cheese 🧀 and sour cream 🥛
Only change I made was to use thigh fillets instead of breast fillets (always my preference)
Then I strained it through a colander prior to serving so our wraps didn’t get soggy with sauce
Omg this meal was amazing! Soo Yummy and clean plates all round. The preparation was so easy. This will be a regular. We served with the taco boats, mini wraps and corn chip. Everyone picked their favourites. Had lettuce, hot corn kernels and cheese and sour cream. The only variation I had was used extra garlic as there was not much in the bottle.
That’s awesome – thanks Nicky!
Delish! I didn’t add in any garlic (as I didn’t have any). absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Hooray! So pleased you enjoyed it 🙂
Made this today to use in enchiladas kids loved it and leftovers for lunch tmw
