Taco Seasoning

Pioneer Woman

• 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Measure out all the ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well. Then taste and adjust the salt or spices as desired. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

For a larger batch (the equivalent of about 6 packets), use:

1/4 cup chili powder
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon each paprika, crushed red pepper, and salt
1 1/2 teaspoons each garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper

SLOW COOKER CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN TACOS

Belle of Kitchen

• 
  
• 1 chopped onion
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix (I use low sodium) or homemade seasoning
• 1 (16 oz) jar salsa (use your favorite; I used a local Texas brand)
• ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• juice from 2 small limes
• 
  
• Pressure cooker version-I sauteed the onion in the pressure cooker, the add the taco seasoning, salsa and 1 lime, bring to boil.   Then add the chicken. Cook for 10 min if defrosted, cook 20-30 if frozen chicken breasts.
• 
  
• Slow Cooker version-
• 1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the top, then cover with salsa, lime juice, and cilantro.
• 2. Place lid on top and cook for four hours on high, or 6-7 hours on low. Remove chicken from crockpot to a separate bowl and shred with two forks. Moisten chicken with small amounts of juice left over from the crockpot until you get the amount of moisture that you like. I used about ½ - ¾ cup juice.
• 3.Serve with taco shells or tortillas, adding on your favorite toppings. I like to use shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, cheese, sour cream, and even a drizzle of ranch dressing. Enjoy!
