Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

This is a great recipe for freezing.  I usually double it and freeze half for later.  Let it thaw in the refrigerator over night and reheat in a saucepan on the stove.

1 lb. chicken
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.  In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, brown sugar and red pepper flakes.  pour over the chicken.  Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-9 hours.  
Remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks.  Return to the slow cooker and mix the chicken with the juices left in pot.  Season with salt and pepper.  Serve in flour tortillas with lettuce, sour cream, cheese, avocados, etc.
