First, we want to share a few of our family’s favorite taco recipes you can make in the slow cooker (or Instant Pot)!

You have just got to try our  Shredded Beef Tacos!

These tacos are made in the slow cooker with tender barbacoa beef and are easy to put together.

Follow the recipe steps and prepare for your mouth to water.

Our Rotisserie Chicken Street Tacos are an easy recipe with a lot of flavors. 

If you don’t have Rotisserie chicken available, you can easily tweak the recipe to cook your chicken in the slow cooker.

Simply season and cook your chicken in the slow cooker.

To complete, simply prepare your toppings, and you are ready to build an amazing taco.

We like using our leftover BBQ Pulled Chicken to make street tacos by adding the meat to the Instant Pot.

You can use an Instant Pot OR a slow cooker. It just takes a little longer to prepare in the slow cooker.

Using leftover BBQ meat adds a different depth of flavor, and combined with your favorite toppings, it’s a meal the whole family will love.
