Super Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 jar salsa I used a 16 oz jar – any type you like, hot, mild, etc.
- 1 packet of taco seasoning we make our own
- 1/2 c. water
- flour tortillas
- taco toppings: shredded lettuce avocado, guacamole, tomatoes, shredded cheese, etc.
Instructions
- Layer the chicken in the crock pot. Top with the salsa, packet of taco seasoning and the water. Cover and set to high for 4 hours, low for 8 hours. The longer this chicken cooks, the easier it is to shred and the longer it soaks in all that seasoning. I’ve done both ways, I prefer the low for 8 hours.
- When it’s done, remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it.
- Then put it back into the pot.
- Spoon your chicken into flour tortillas or taco shells or whatever you want to use it for. Top with all the fun taco toppings. You can use this meat for almost anything – burritos, put it with the pasta , enchiladas… the possibilities are endless.
I love my crockpot and am always looking for new and unique dishes to make using it. These tacos definitely apply! They look and sound terrific!
I’m definitely going to make this recipe! It will be so nice to come home from a long day at work to have a delicious meal like this already made!
These were so good!
