Cool Ranch Crockpot Chicken Tacos or Tostadas
 The intention was to have these posted for you in time for Cinco de Mayo, but life got crazy busy. Oh well, a couple days late, but they are worth the wait!
This recipe really should be called Cool Ranch Crockpot Chicken Tostadas, Tacos, Burritos, Nachos, etc … You can add this yummy shredded chicken to just about anything. I am excited to throw some of the leftovers on my salad tonight.
The combo of ranch & taco spices really reminded me of Cool Ranch Doritos…. hence the name. I must say, this is one of my easiest crockpot recipes. Four ingredients, in the crockpot, and push go! I hope you love this flavorful crockpot recipe.How do you plan on using  your Cool Ranch Crockpot Chicken?

I made this last night, it was AWESOME. I was so excited once it started to smell good and it was so good! Thanks for the recipe!
This is now one of our favorite meals but, I did make a couple alterations.
I add in juice from 6 limes which I put into a measuring cup than fill it up the rest of the way with broth to the 14 ounce line.
I also add in a 1/2 bunch of fresh chopped cilantro (stems and all.. don’t waste that part its delish & edible).
I add in about a tablespoon of cumin & a tablespoon of chili powder (eyeball both of them)
And, about 2 tablespoons of chopped pickled jalapenos.
The lime & cilantro really take this recipe to a whole other level. It brings a brightness and a bigger punch of flavor
Ooops I forgot to mention I don’t add the cilantro until the last 30 minutes – after the chicken is shredded and placed back in the pot.
Any thoughts on a substitute for the ranch packet? I can’t do the MSG that is in that mix but would love to try a new twist on the chicken taco.
Yes! I have a DIY Ranch Mix recipe you are going to LOVE!
