I mashed up a couple different taco soup recipes. The result is below. It smells great and tastes great and is very easy and fast to make.
INGREDIENTS
- enough frozen chicken tenders for four people
- 1 small can of corn, drained
- 1 diced medium yellow onion
- 1 large can of black or pinto beans
- 1 small jar of salsa
- 1/2 small jar of sliced jalapeño peppers
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 1 brick of cream cheese
- Mexican blend grated cheese
STEPS
- cover the bottom of large crockpot with a whole bunch (lots) of still frozen chicken tenders (like what you buy at costco or grocery)
- added small can of corn, drained
- large can of diced tomatoes including liquid
- one good sized yellow onion diced
- one large can of beans (I had pinto)
- add all of a small jar of salsa
- add half of a small jar of pickled sliced jalapeño peppers
- one packet of taco seasoning
- I’ll let that cook about 4 hours on high (until chicken is tender and done)
- during last 10 minutes or so, dump in an entire package of cream cheese, let that melt and stir in
- shred chicken with forks if you want, or if in small enough pieces leave as is
- serve over Doritos and top with some Mexican blend grated cheese and maybe some sour cream

you just reminded me, i need to buy a crockpot. Looks good, I bet the aroma was intoxicating also, Enjoy!
Looks so yummy! I guess this means we need to try it out now. Thanks!
If you do, I recommend using the frozen chicken bits while they’re still frozen, and not fresh chicken. That’s part of what contributes to the success of the dish, I think. And, I didn’t even use frozen breasts of the larger “tenders,” just the small bits of frozen chicken the some companies make. Ultra easy: just dump them in the bottom plus the other stuff and slap on the lid. The taco seasoning and half jar of sliced jalapenos plus the brick of cream cheese is what really makes it I think.
It’s kinda like that Chicken Tikka Masala that Nathan likes so much. (Sorta…)
