Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups salsa
- 1 package of taco seasoning
Instructions
- Add the chicken breasts to your crockpot.
- Sprinkle over taco seasoning.
- Pour salsa over top.
- Cook on low 6-8 hours, or high 3-4 hours.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken and return it to the crock pot.
- Stir well to combine.
Notes
- For best results, check the chicken for doneness after 5 hours so that you are careful not to overcook the meat. Cook time can vary depending on the side of the chicken breasts.
- Use slow cooker liners to save on clean up time. They are so helpful.
- If you're short on time, you can cook your crock pot tacos on high for a 3-4 hours. However, keep in mind that the meat may not be as tender as when cooked on low.
- While the filling simmers, you can focus on preparing fresh toppings like chopped lettuce, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and your favorites.
- Make a double batch and use the second batch to make burritos, or nachos.
