Description
Enjoy tender chicken infused with vibrant Mexican spices, served in warm tortillas for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (16 oz) jar thick salsa
- 1 pkg taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cups cheese (shredded)
- 1 pkg corn tortillas
Instructions
- Begin by placing the chicken in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken and pour the salsa on top, ensuring that every piece of chicken is well-coated.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Once cooking time is complete, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker with two forks. Mix it gently in the juices for 10-15 minutes to soak up even more flavor.
- To serve, take warm corn tortillas and fill them with the shredded chicken mixture. Top with cheese, cilantro, and your favorite toppings such as sour cream or avocado.
Notes
For added flavor, squeeze lime juice before serving. You can prepare the chicken mixture the day before.
