Southwestern Taco Chicken Recipes

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Plug crock pot in and set to high or low depending on how long you are cooking it for
• I lightly sprayed the bottom of my crockpot then lay down the chicken breast.
• Add in the corn, peppers and onions.
• I mixed my chili powder and paprika in with the jar of salsa before pouring salsa over chicken.
• Add the lime juice, salt & pepper then stir the mixture around.
• Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
• Using a few forks shred chicken right in the crockpot and then serve immediately.
• Use your favorite low point taco shells and toppings, or serve on top of a salad.
• The mixture alone is zero smart points, the only points you will need to count are based on what tortilla/shells and toppings you use.
• *Note- feel free to add in a can of zero point beans to the mixture.
• Taco mixture will store in the fridge for a fews days and freezes well. Makes 12- 1/2 cup servings

SOUTHWESTERN TACO SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• To make the avocado cilantro lime salad dressing, combine all the ingredients for the dressing (avocado, cilantro, lime juice, greek yogurt, water, salt, garlic, and cumin) in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
• Pour 1 tbsp of oil into a pan and bring up to medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and taco seasoning, stirring until all pieces are well-coated with the seasoning. Cook through and set aside.
• Assemble your salad with a bed of chopped romaine lettuce on the bottom. Then, lay out each topping (chicken, cheddar jack cheese, black beans, avocado, corn, cherry tomatoes, and tortilla strips) in rows or blend it all together.
• Top off with the avocado salad dressing and cilantro then serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
