Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
Easy and simple Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos take no time to throw together and always come out delicious!
Servings 12 Tacos
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups salsa
- 1 package taco seasoning or ¼ cup taco seasoning
- 2 pounds chicken breasts
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro chopped, optional
- Juice of 1 lime
- 12 tortillas
Instructions
- Add the salsa and taco seasoning to a slow cooker and stir to combine. Add the chicken breasts and turn them to coat in the salsa mixture.
- Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork. If you have the option, I recommend cooking on low for the most tender chicken.*
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the salsa mixture.
- Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste and add additional lime juice or salt if needed.
- Warm the tortillas and fill with the shredded chicken and your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
Cooking Time: For the juiciest chicken, I recommend cooking it on low for 6 hours.
