Crockpot Cheddar Beer Chicken Tacos
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts3/4 cup beer (I used an amber ale)1 tablespoon chili powder1 1/2 teaspoons cumin1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika1/4 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoon onion powderpinch of cayenne pepper1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoons pepper3/4 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese + more for topping8 6-in flour tortillasServe with: 1/2 c salsa, 1 cup canned corn, 1 cup canned black beans
In a bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Measure out 3/4 cup of your favorite beer, and whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning into the beer.
Place chicken in the crockpot and dump in beer with seasoning. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4 hours.
When you first remove the lid, it will seem as though there is a lot of liquid and the chicken is just sitting in it, but take two forks or kitchen tongs and shred, shred, shred until it all comes together. Taste and season with additional taco seasoning if desired, then let sit in the crockpot for another 15 minutes or so. Turn the crockpot completely off, and right before serving toss in cheddar cheese. Once combined, immediately transfer the chicken to a large bowl so the cheese does not stick to the crockpot. Make your tacos! Serve with corn, black beans, salsa, and white or brown rice if desired. (rice is not included in nutritional info)
