Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken thighs in cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning mix and brown sugar; toss to coat. Mix in green chiles, corn and 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce. Refrigerate remaining enchilada sauce.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 6 to 7 hours.
  • 3
    Place chicken on cutting board; use 2 forks to pull chicken into shreds. Return chicken to cooker. Stir in green onions. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 15 minutes.
  • 4
    Heat remaining enchilada sauce. Serve chicken mixture in taco shells with lettuce, tomatoes and warm enchilada sauce.

  • Mild, medium or hot enchilada sauce varies the flavor—and the heat--of these tacos.
  • Fill tacos just before serving so the shells stay crisp.
  • Set out an assortment of taco toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped avocado and sliced olives.
