Crisp Bacon in the Oven: Cooking bacon in the oven on parchment paper results in perfectly crisp bacon without the mess.
Stir Occasionally: If you’re around, give the ingredients a stir halfway through cooking to help the flavors meld together.
Adjust the Spice Level: Feel free to add more chipotle powder or some taco seasoning if you like it spicier.
Use a Crock Pot Liner: For easy cleanup, use a slow cooker liner.
Shred Chicken Easily: Use two forks or even a hand mixer to shred the chicken quickly.
Prep Toppings Ahead: Chop your favorite toppings like tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions in advance to save time.
