Tropical Chicken Tacos

"Tropical Chicken Tacos take you right to the tropics, but not in a hurry. The juicy shredded chicken takes a dip in a sweet and spicy sauce to really infuse that beloved jerk flavor. And don't worry, it's all done in a slow cooker so you can keep living on island time. It's packed in a salty (not sandy!) corn tortilla and topped with tasty green onions, crunchy red cabbage, creamy feta cheese, and a squeeze of fresh lime. After just one bite of Tropical Chicken Tacos, you'll be singing, "Is this love, is this love ..."
