If you love Mexican food, here is a recipe that will soon become a new favorite with delicious chicken, cheese and more! This Crock pot Chicken Taquitos Recipe is so easy and requires little work because the slow cooker does all the cooking for you!
The shredded chicken and cream cheese make an amazing combination. Not to mention the extra shredded cheese. We like to serve it with a side of Easy Spanish Rice.

How to make Crock Pot Chicken Taquitos
First, get a small bowl and combine the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix this together.
Second, put the chicken and the seasoning mixture in the crockpot. Add the water.
Next, cook on low for 4 hours. Once the chicken is finished cooking, take it out of the slow cooker and shred with 2 forks.
The chicken will be so tender and very easy to shred.
Mix the cream cheese and part of the shredded cheese with the chicken.
Keep stirring until the cheese is melted. The chicken will be warm and help the cheese to melt.

I really love Mexican cuisine, although I live in a completely different part of the world … Great recipe. I want to cook this weekend. Thank you!
Sorry for the confusion. The seasoning mixture gets added to the crock pot with this chicken. This is a typo and I’m fixing it now. Thank you!
Looks yummy! Do the seasonings get added with the shredded chicken and cheeses? Or in the crockpot with the chicken?
