Crock Pot Barbecue Chicken Tacos
How good do these barbecue chicken tacos look?? We love tacos in our house and could easily eat them once a week. I love trying new and unique taco recipes, and this barbecue chicken version is definitely a new favorite. It’s a crock pot recipe, which makes this meal extremely easy to throw together. The barbecue chicken is delicious, but the toppings really make these tacos stand out. The seasoned corn, cheddar cheese, and crispy fried onions are definitely an integral part, so don’t skip them. These tacos have become a meal plan staple in our house and hopefully they will in your house as well. 🙂
