Chef tips
To keep the taco shells crispy and prevent them from getting soggy, make sure to thoroughly drain the chicken of any excess liquid from the slow cooker before filling and baking. For a delicious kosher option, swap the cheese for a rich avocado cream with lemon and cilantro. Kids will love helping to sprinkle the cold toppings over the hot tacos right after they come out of the oven.
