New Crock Pot - Chicken Tacos

I am very excited. My new crock pot arrived just before Shabbos. I quickly ran and toiveled it so its ready to go today. I don't have the most experience with crock pots. It wasn't something I grew up using everyday. So I did a little searching and downloaded this kindle book, 200 Low-Carb Slow Cooker Recipes. So now I am ready to make some cool dishes. Obviously the cookbook isn't entirely kosher, but I really like how the chapters are laid out by meat types, so I can just completely skip over the pork chapters. I highly recommend a slow cooker for anyone, keto or not. It definitely makes cooking some tasty food really easy. A lot of people have suggested to me paleopot.com. Again, not everything is kosher, and also not everything is keto, but it looks like its worth checking out.

For my first dish. I am following a recipe from the aforementioned book. Well, not so much following, as basing off the recipe in the book. Its called chicken burritos, and its the first recipe in the chicken chapter.




  • Chicken Breast
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Peppers
  • 1 Tomato
  • Olive Oil
  • Lemon Juice
  • Fajita Spice
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic




I started a bit late in the day, so I have it on high for about 6 hours. The recipe really suggests low for 10 hours. It was amazingly easy to put together. Literally 5 minutes of prep time filled up my 4 quart crock pot.





This is almost done. I picked apart the chicken with some tongs. It was very soft and basically fell apart.  I was really impressed with how much liquid was produced by the end. It really could have been like a soup. This was a great meal. I did have one corn chip taco shell with it, which was 7 grams of carbs. Totally not necessary. Just plop some tofutti cream cheese and you're good to go. Enjoy.

  1. I've heard of using a Romain lettuce leaf for the 'shell'. Saves using lettuce on the Taco itself.
