Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken Tacos

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa

For Serving

  • Warm tortillas
  • Shredded cheese
  • Avocado or guacamole
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • Sour cream
  • Chopped cilantro and lime wedges

Directions

  1. Lay the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over it, then spoon the salsa across the top.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours, until the chicken pulls apart easily. Use thawed chicken, not frozen.
  3. Shred the chicken with two forks, then stir about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid back in, adding more until it is as saucy as you want.
  4. Pile into warm tortillas with whatever toppings you have. The same chicken is just as good over rice, in burritos, or on nachos.
