What I love about tacos is that you mix and match proteins, salsas, and condiments. Cooked in the crock-pot, our chicken tacos make Taco Tuesday simple for weeknights on the go. Featuring our sweet and spicy Calicutts Chipotle and Honey Spice Blend, we love to pair this chicken with Fire Salt Corn Salsa. Of course, freshly grilled corn is always better, but frozen will do in a pinch too.
