Ingredients

THE SLOW COOKER
2 medium chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, about 1 pound
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 large jalapeno, seeded, ribs removed and diced
salt, kosher variety, taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 c filtered water
ADDITIONALS
1 Tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon (or lime) juice
ASSEMBLY
1 c colby cheese, shredded
10 medium flour tortillas, 6 inches (15cm) in diameter

Steps:

1. Gather your ingredients.
2. Dice the jalapeno.
3. Chef's Note: When Chef Herrick told his students to dice anything, he expected it to be so perfect, you would be able to use them at a Las Vegas craps table.
4. Add all of the slow cooker ingredients to bowl of your slow cooker.
5. Set on low for 8 hours... and then take a nap.
6. Chef's Note: You could do this on high for 4 hours; however, the flavors have a better chance of blending together on low... Low and slow is the way to go.
7. After 8 hours, remove the chicken breasts and shred them by hand, or using two forks.
8. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
9. Add the dill, and lemon juice.
10. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.

13. Roll up tightly and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
14. Repeat for the other tacos.
15. Add the Colby cheese to the top of the tacos.
16. Place into the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
17. Remove from the oven and serve with some sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.
18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality cream cheese. Look for a brand that is smooth and spreadable, and avoid brands that contain additives or preservatives.
Shred your own chicken for the tacos. This will give you a more tender and flavorful result than using pre-shredded chicken.
Be sure to cook the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the tacos. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will make it difficult for the chicken to cook evenly.
Serve the tacos immediately after they are made. This will help to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese chicken tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying taco that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give cream cheese chicken tacos a try.
