Author: Becky Hardin | The Cookie Rookie

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 18 ounce bottle BBQ Sauce just use your favorite
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 8 Old El Paso Stand and Stuff Taco Shells
• 8 slices pepper jack cheese
• 1 cup corn drained and rinsed
• 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
• 2 cups mango salsa ingredients below
• 1 cup cojita cheese or feta
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

For Mango Salsa

• 1 ripe mango peeled and chopped
• 1/2 red onion diced
• 1 jalapeno seeds removed, diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
• juice of one lime

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients for the mango salsa and refrigerate in a sealed container. (It's also great on chips!)
2. Place chicken in a slow cooker.
3. In a small bowl, combine bbq sauce, honey and brown sugar.
4. Pour sauce over the chicken and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3 1/2 hours, covered.
5. Use two forks to shred the chicken.
6. To assemble the tacos, add one slice of cheese to the bottom of each Old El Paso Stand and Stuff Taco Shell. This will help to keep them crispy.
7. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons chicken into each shell. Top with a tablespoon of corn, beans, and then 2 tablespoons of the mango salsa. Top with cojito and cilantro and serve!
8. Enjoy!
