Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Tacos Recipe

Recipe By Lake Geneva Country Meats

This recipe combines two of the best types of recipes-taco recipes and slow cooker recipes-into one delicious and easy to make meal. Tomato based red salsas are delicious, but so is salsa verde-green salsa, made with tomatillos, peppers, and more. The roasty and spicy flavors of a good salsa verde are hard to beat, and will help provide a new twist on tacotuesday if you're looking to try something different than your traditional ground beef tacos. You can make your own salsa verde at home, or purchase pre-made jarred salsas that are delicious One of my favorite parts about eating tacos is the topping bar. What's better than assembling your own taco with just the right mix of ingredients? For this taco, we recommend having queso fresco (instead of shredded cheddar cheese), quick pickled red onions, chopped cilantro, more salsa verde, and limes. You can easily quick pickle red onions by slicing a red onion thinly, then submerging it in a mixture of 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1 tbsp. Sugar, and 1 tsp. Salt for 30 minutes. You'll end up with a tangy, crisp topping for your tacos that perfectly accents the roastiness of the salsa verde. Let us know what you think of this recipe in the comments below.
