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?

This sounds great. I can’t wait to try it. I have the ranch in packets, but have taco seasoning in a jar..Do you have a rough estimate as to teaspoons in a pack of taco mix? Great blog..off to look around some more.
I think there are about 3-4 tablespoons in each taco package.
Thanks for helping out with the answer Angela! 🙂 XO
WE love this! After I shred the chicken I add a package of room temperature cream cheese and let it cook longer! Game changer! This is now in our normal rotation. Thank you!
It’s 1/3 cup
I had to look it up, too. A packet says 36g or 1.25 oz. Is that correct? If so, that would be 2.5 tablespoons. That’s what I just put in and I hope it’s right!
The taco seasoning packet days 2 tsp a serving with 6 servings. So I used 12 tsp. Hopefully it turns out well! 🙂
Hi, Corey! Just want to stop by and let you know I recently saw this delicious looking recipe on Pinterest and gave it a try last night…we all loved it! Three thumbs up! Now, I’m interested in trying your Barbeque Ribs, Hawaiian Barbeque Chicken and Stuffed Peppers! Thank you for taking the time to post such beautiful recipe tutorials. You’ve given my tired menus some inspiration!
You are so SWEET! That recipe is one of my favorites, so I am so glad you loved it too! I am actually making the crockpot peppers tonight! hehe Seriously, this comment made my day. Stop by again to let me know how other recipes turn out for you! XOXO
This looks delicious! Since I have a 3 year old that seems to be attached to my rear, I need quick, easy meals that don’t take too much of my time. I will definitely be adding this to next week’s menu!! Could this be made up ahead of time and frozen to where you could just heat it through in the crockpot when you’re ready to use it or so you can use it in a recipe that calls for cooked shredded chicken? Thanks!! I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you so much Lori! You know what….there are never any leftovers of this to freeze when I make it! hehe Whatever doesn’t get eaten that night is devoured the next day! I am SURE this would freeze just fine though. If that’s the plan… you better make a triple batch and hide some right away 🙂 XO
Corey!! This is amazing!! I found it on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try- huge win with the family!! My husband nevvver eats leftovers and said if there would have been any left… He would have taken them to work! That is huge and definitely a FIRST!! Thank you so much for all of your time and effort!! I really do appreciate it!! Xo Rachel
Rachel!!! You totally made my day with this comment. Thank you for taking the time to let me know how much you liked the recipe. I hope your hubby loved the chicken as leftovers 🙂 Maybe you have converted him into a leftover lover! hehe XO
My fiancĂ© LOVES chicken tacos. But they always seemed so bland to me.. But this recipe spiced ‘me up- & it’s in my brand new slow cooker now! (I’m a beginner when it comes to cooking- & it was too easy!)
Awesome Christina! Congrats on the new slow cooker 🙂 Have fun with the leftovers. After our taco nights, I love using this chicken as a salad topper 🙂
