Delicious and Easy Slow-Cooker Chicken Taco Nachos

What do you get when you combine two favorites into one? Only the most craveable munchy food in the entire world!

Salty tortilla chips piled high with slow-cooked seasoned chicken, melted cheese, tomatoes, black olives and whatever else your little heart loves on tacos be it shredded lettuce, diced avocado, red onion, black beans, pickled jalapenos – there is no right or wrong – just deliciousness at every turn.

Boneless chicken breasts are slow-cooked in a crock-pot with taco seasoning, onions, garlic and a little chicken broth to keep them moist and juicy. If you never cooked chicken in your crock-pot then you are in for a real treat – they turn out so tender you can cut them with a fork.

Once cooked the breasts are cut or shredded into bite-sized pieces and added back to the pot. If a lot of juice is left in the pot you can cook them further with the lid off to evaporate it off.

For assembly the tortilla chips are laid out on a baking sheet and topped with the chicken, cheese and olives then baked until hot.

The remaining toppings are sprinkled on – your choice of fresh tomatoes, onions, shredded lettuce, diced avocados, black beans, etc. . . along with sour cream, guacamole and/or salsa for dipping and dunking.

They make a great dinner, appetizer for a crowd or movie/game night munchy snack. Plus you can easily adapt the recipe to heat them on a grill for your next barbecue.
