Kansas City Tacos

Today I was craving BBQ chicken and coleslaw and was thinking about ways I could serve it up for dinner. Enter "Kansas City Tacos." 

A little over a year ago, we made a trek from the midwest down to Texas and ate at a lot of BBQ places along the way. As we ate dinner tonight, we were discussing names for my new creation and the topic swung around to this particular trip. I said how the flavor of this reminded me of a place we stopped at in Kansas City, KS. Everyone agreed and that was how the name of this recipe was born.

If you like fast, easy, and tasty recipes, this one will not disappoint. Especially if you purchase pre-made coleslaw. (As always, I make my own, see that recipe here )

Ingredients:

Cooked, shredded chicken
BBQ sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's brand)
Coleslaw
Flour tortillas


To make the chicken, I simply threw about 6 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker and allowed them to cook on high for about 3-4 hours. Once they were done, I put them in a Kitchen Aid mixing bowl and shredded them using the paddle attachment. (This can also be done by using 2 forks to shred the chicken if you don't have a mixer.) Add in enough BBQ sauce so that the chicken isn't dry; make it to your liking.

To assemble the tacos, place the chicken on the center of the flour tortilla, top with coleslaw, and serve! It doesn't get much easier than that!
