"The chicken filling cooks in the slow-cooker, so it’s convenient to throw it together before I leave for work. At the end of the day, I just have to roll it up in a tortilla with the remaining ingredients and dinner’s ready in minutes. The chicken also makes a great topping for salad."

This was a very tasty dish. I cooked it in the slow cooker starting it out on high the reduced it to low after about 3 hrs. The meat fell off the bones. Putting the chicken back in the juices after taking it off the bones makes the chicken very moist & full of flavor. I did leave out the worcestershire sauce & forgot to put the onion in but it still tasted great. I will definitely be making this again!

The meat in this recipe did not have the usual taco taste that I was expecting. It was more like Bar-B-Q chicken. Next time I might try using taco seasoning in place of the chili powder. This would make for some good chicken sandwiches, but we just didn't care for the meat as a soft taco.
