Tender, flavorful, and juicy, these Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken & Poblano Street Tacos have a delicious smoky flavor with just a little kick of heat...

One thing that this home cook loves is a good challenge, folks. Especially when said challenge involves food. ;) When Sargento® asked me to participate in their Chopped At Home Challenge, I didn't hesitate to jump right in with a resounding heck yeah.

I have been a HUGE fan of the Food Network's Chopped cooking show for years now. If you haven't seen Chopped before, it is wild, you all.

Each contestant is given a basket of the same ingredients and challenged to create a course of a meal using all of the ingredients in their baskets. And sometimes they get some crazy ingredient combinations! Each course is judged resulting in one of the chefs getting "chopped" each round until only one chef is left standing at the end of show.

For the Mexican round of the Food Network Chopped At Home Challenge, I was asked to create a recipe using chicken thighs, poblano peppers, corn tortillas, and Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese. I am not going to lie- I was pretty excited to see this ingredients list!

I knew instantly that I wanted to slow cook the chicken thighs because it happens to be my favorite way to prepare this budget friendly cut of chicken. The slow cooking not only allows the flavor from the bone to really permeate the meat, but it makes the meat so tender & juicy that it literally just falls right off the bone.

But it was the corn tortillas that made me decide on a street tacos recipe. I mean, corn tortillas are a must for making perfect street tacos. And I have had a mild obsession with street tacos ever since my husband and I's visit to an amazing little taco shop near Harpers Ferry last month... ;)

The Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese is the perfect way to top these juicy & flavorful Chipotle Chicken & Poblano Street Tacos. Always cut from 100% real, natural cheeses, it is a blend of shredded Monterey Jack, cheddar, queso quesadilla, & Asadero natural cheeses. :)

And with 30 different varieties available in unique blends & distinct cuts, you are sure to the find the Sargento shredded cheese perfect for your next home cooked meal. They also happen to be affordable at less than $3 a bag!

You can serve these street tacos with all your favorite taco fixings, but the smoky & spicy flavors of this slow cooked chicken and poblanos were so flavorful and amazing already that I decided to just simply top them with a little squeeze of fresh lime juice, some fresh cilantro leaves, and the Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese. Street taco perfection, friends! :)
