One of my favorite things about Chicken Taco Meat is how flexible a dish it is. I sometimes serve it with tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, and cheese for chicken tacos. Other times I serve it on lettuce (with the fixings!) for a delicious chicken taco salad. I have even included it in casseroles.
For fix-your-own tacos and salads, I like to put out:
- shredded Chicken Taco Meat
- lettuce (cut large for salads or shredded for tacos)
- chopped tomatoes
- chopped avocado
- diced onions
- shredded cheese
- chopped cilantro
- sour cream
- salsa
- tortillas (for tacos!)
I like to bake my Chicken Taco Meat in the oven, because I think the flavors are more intense, but I have also made it in the crockpot. If you prefer to use a crockpot, just cook it for four hours on high, then shred the meat.
