crock pot chicken tacos

I was introduced to this easy recipe when I used to babysit for a family with 4 kids, this was an easy to make and easy to please meal to make for us! I recently found a 3 quart sized crock pot at Target on sale for $15, I grabbed it and my first meal I made was crock pot chicken tacos.

To start place as much chicken as you want for your family, or for extras (stores well in refrigerator for a few days), in your crock pot. I used 2 chicken breasts which made 5 servings of 2 tacos.

Pour any kind of salsa over the chicken making sure to cover all the chicken. I used Trader Joe's Chunky Salsa, really anything will work though. For the 2 chicken breasts I needed one whole jar, so you will need more than one jar if using more chicken.

Here it is before cooked with chicken covered in salsa. Set crock pot on low if you want it to cook all day or use high if you will be ready to eat in 3-4 hours.



Here is what is in the crock pot when it is ready to shred, you can see the salsa has reduced and the chicken is cooked.

Using a fork pierce the chicken and use a turn of your wrist to "shred" the chicken. Repeat until all the chicken is shredded and mixed evenly.

Here is the shredded chicken ready to go into a taco or burrito.

I used a warmed corn tortilla, placed some of the crock pot chicken  with tomato and avocado slices on top.

Get creative with it...there are so many possibilities! ENJOY!
