I absolutely loved this recipe!  Instead of cooking chicken breast in the crockpot, I used a couple pint jars of diced chicken that my mom helped me can awhile back.  I simply mixed the ingredients in a dish and nuked it in the microwave until it was hot, adding the cilantro afterwards.  Since we already had some corn tortillas in the fridge, we fried them into semi-hard shells.  I diced up tomatoes, shredded lettuce and topped with sour cream and shredded pepper jack cheese.  Definitely go for the pepper jack; it makes all the difference, I think.  And we love this Mexican rice recipe, so I fixed that as a side.
