Mealthy Tip

Use chicken breasts instead of tenderloins if you already have them on hand! Just cut the breasts from top to bottom into 1/4-inch thick strips. The cook time will be the same.

Substitute flour tortillas for the corn tortillas if desired!

You can buy the pre-made taco seasoning or make your own for a fresh, preservative-free version.

What others are saying

caroline chambers says:

Yum. Definitely liquidy but like the author said, just use a slotted spoon to drain off before building your tortillas!

Jason Owens says:

Tasty but very runny. Probably will make a good soup for leftovers.

Haley Morrison says:

Very easy. Only used half the peppers, onions and tomatoes in the multipot with the chicken — the rest we kept whole and chopped as toppings. Kids loved it!

Jennifer Shafei says:

Tasted great, but very watery. I had to put the chicken and veggies in a strainer. Good news, I’m going to use the liquid from this in a veggie soup.

Lisa Tisdel says:

Was easy to make but very runny and sort of bland. I added some seasonings to my increase the flavor

B McKinley says:

Really good flavor! I added onions with the oil for the 1st Sauté. Also I only used about 6oz of tomatoes and it made it not so runny at the end, still had moisture but it wasn’t soupy.
