With the warmer weather I’m trying to keep the air conditioning off and as soon as I use the stove to cook dinner…BAM the temperature goes up! One of the ways I combat this is by using my slow cooker. Who doesn’t love a slow cooker? It just makes life easier…setting it up before hand and letting it do the work while the house stays cooler is just plain smart.
One of our family favs is Slow Cooker Cheesy Tacos recipe. This is a great one for the weeknights when I’m racing to get the kids from school to sports events or musical lessons.
I hope your family digs this as much as we do!

Like you, I’m trying to postpone turning on the air conditioner as long as possible to cut down on our electric bill. I agree that turning on the stove seems to immediately heat up the house. I love my slow cooker, too. I am also in love with my electric pressure cooker. This recipe is great. I have seen other recipes for cheesy tacos in the slow cooker, but most of them have used Velveeta. Thank you for using real cheese in this recipe.
Taco’s are a staple in our dinner rotation and these look amazing. Pinned to try soon!
wow do these ever look delish. I have only had your typical beef tacos. I have never tried them with chicken. This is such a healthier way of doing them. I am going to try making them this way next time :) thank you
Love using the slow cooker, especially when we are out and about until late at night
These look really good. I only have green cabbage, but I have everything else to make these for supper.
I love my slow cooker and these look delicious. I must try this recipe.
I love my slow cooker I honestly don’t know what I would do without it. Definitely going to wing this together. Fast and easy dish. Thanks so much for posting
