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.
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.
