Ingredients

Crock Pot Chicken Taco Filling

  • 16 ounce Jar of Salsa your favorite brand works, I used Pace
  • 1 lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast or thighs
  • 1 Taco Seasoning Packet I use half

Chicken Taco Toppings

  • Shredded Lettuce
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Chopped Tomatoes
  • Pickled Jalapeno Slices
  • Sour Cream
  • more topping suggestions in the post

Other

  • Soft Flour Tortilla Taco Shells or crunchy if preferred

Instructions

Crock Pot Chicken Taco Filling

  • Empty the jar of salsa in the bottom of the slow cooker then add the taco seasoning and stir. Add the chicken breast pieces; cover and cook on the low setting 5-6 hours.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and shred then return to the slow cooker; stir to combine with the rest of the ingredients.

Serving Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

  • Warm the soft flour taco shells, if desired (I place them over the flame on my stove top for a minute then flip)
  • Next, add some of the chicken filling along with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy.

Notes

More Options

You can use the regular taco size soft flour tortilla shells or use the mini size to make street tacos.
A taco kit is also a great option as it will have the seasoning included and a packet of taco sauce if you prefer not to purchase everything separately.
