Pin This RecipeSlow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Tacos
We love Mexican food at our house. These Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos are a favorite. They are SO easy to make with only 4ingredients and taste great. We make these cheesy chicken tacos at least once a month. The chicken mixture is not only great in tacos but also on top of rice, nachos, baked potatoes or a salad. I love versatile recipes like this one!
How to Make Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken
These Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos are super easy to make. Cook some chicken with taco seasoning and Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles. Shred the chicken and stir in some queso dip. That’s it! SO easy!
I used some Pancho’s cheese dip in this recipe. It is a refrigerated orange Mexican cheese dip. I buy it at Sam’s Club or Walmart. If you can’t find Pancho’s, feel free to use any brand of refrigerated queso dip or a jar of queso dip from the chip aisle.
You can turn this main dish into a dip by adding more cheese dip to the chicken mixture. This would be great poured over nachos or served warm in the crockpot with chips. YUM!
What to Serve with Queso Chicken Tacos
These Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos are a favorite at our house. I’d rather eat these cheesy chicken tacos than go out for Mexican. This makes a lot of chicken, so this is great for a crowd. As I said, this chicken is great in tacos, a burrito bowl, on nachos or a salad for a low-carb/keto option. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with these chicken tacos:

Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos – only 4 ingredients! Chicken slow-cooked in taco seasoning, diced tomatoes and green chiles, and Mexican cheese dip. Dangerously delicious. Serve in tortillas with your favorite taco toppings. Can freeze leftover for a quick meal later. Taco Tuesday never tasted so good! #crockpot #slowcooker #chicken #mexican #tacos
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (1-oz) package taco seasoning
- 1 (10-oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 1-1/2 cups Mexican cheese dip (refrigerated or jarred)
Instructions:
Place chicken in a 6-qt slow cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and top with tomatoes.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours.
Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in cheese dip.
Serve with tortillas or hard taco shells and favorite taco toppings.
Notes:
- If you feel that there is too much liquid in the slow cooker after the chicken cooks, you can drain it out of the crockpot.
- The amount of liquid will just depend on the size and brand of chicken that you use.
- Can use more or less cheese dip. Adjust measurements to your personal preference.
- Can freeze leftover chicken for later.
- I use Gordo’s or Pancho’s White Queso dip. I find it in the refrigerated cheese section at the store.
