Slow Cooked Smoky Chipotle Brown Sugar Chicken Tacos

As many of my friends know, I love tacos.  I love them so much that I do not refer to them as tacos, but as TACOOOOOS!  And these tacos were absolutely amazing!  An hour after I was done eating, the smoky chipotle flavors were still tickling my taste buds, making me want more!

I found this recipe on a new blog I found called Can You Stay for Dinner that I am absolutely obsessed with and cannot wait to try more of the recipes.  Everything on the blog is healthy and looks so scrumptious. 

I like these tacos so much for three reasons that I frequently post about the food I make.  Easy and quick to make.  Delicious.  Healthy.  When cooking meets these three criteria, I am in heaven. (Although I do love the complicated gourmet food challenges on occasion too!)

Here is the recipe:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

1/2 red onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic

15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained (recommended: Muir Glen)

1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped (1 pepper pulled from a packed can – I used 3 peppers and recommend it)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

juice of 1 lime

1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro

1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke

corn or flour tortillas

Toppings:

avocado

cheese

cabbage

red onion

Place chicken in the base of your slow cooker.

Puree all remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor until well combined and smooth.

Pour over chicken breasts and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Shred using two forks.

I hope you enjoy these TACOOOOOOS as much as I did!
