Taco night just got a lot more flavorful with this SUPER EASY, delicious weeknight meal that makes the BEST chicken tacos!  Only a few ingredients and minutes to throw together, these Queso Chicken Tacos are loaded with flavor and require little work and effort.

This recipe is slightly adapted from my popular Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos. The addition of green chiles and queso steps it up a notch and was a nice change.

Tips

Adjust cooking time according to how fast or slow your cooker cooks – for some slow cookers, cooking on high, chicken may be ready in 3-4 hours

Use the chicken for tacos, burritos, bowls and wraps.

I  purchased a jar of queso and used the leftover as a topping and for tortilla chips.

You can use original Rotel  or Rotel hot – this recipe is super easy to adapt to your taste if you like things spicy/hot.
