We love Mexican food and I am looking for new ideas.
We make tacos, enchiladas mostly but again I love
trying new things.
Thanks

This week I picked up some blue cornmeal crisp taco shells & am thinking of trying a crockpot chicken taco filling I recently got a recipe for. Please note that I have NOT tried this recipe before, so I'm not providing it as a tried & true recipe.
Crockpot Sour Cream Salsa Chicken
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 package regular or reduced-sodium taco seasoning mix
1 cup + commercial salsa - you may need more salsa to keep chicken moist
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup light sour cream **
Spray the crockpot with cooking spray. Add the chicken
breasts. Sprinkle with taco seasoning. Top with salsa.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When ready to serve, remove the chicken from the pot.
Place about 2 T cornstarch in a small amount of water.
Stir well. Stir the cornstarch mixture into salsa
sauce. Stir in 1/4 cup of sour cream.
**Note: I don't use "light or non-fat" dairy products - feel they have more damaging things added into them than the fat & have lousy taste to boot, so I'll be using regular sour cream.
I'm thinking the above recipe may end up being too salty, so I am already planning to have a carton of low-sodium chicken broth at the ready to thin things out if necessary.
