The rolled chicken tacos from Taco Bell are great but unfortunately, they keep taking them off the menu. That is okay because here I have a copycat recipe for the rolled chicken tacos from Taco Bell. Rolled chicken tacos are corn tortillas rolled up with Mexican shredded chicken and then fried. Really they are just taquitos with a different name. At Taco Bell these rolled tacos are served with your choice of sauce such as nacho cheese, spicy ranch, or guacamole. I really enjoy these with nacho cheese. The chicken in this recipe is prepared in the crock pot and we are making our own homemade chicken taco seasoning. You can use either boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts. The chicken is added to the slow cooker with and taco seasoning and then shredded for use in the tacos. The tacos are rolled and then baked in the oven.
