This recipe is SO simple and prepped in no time at all! It only takes 5 minutes to throw it all together then the slow cooker does all the work. My kids beg for these tacos to be on the weekly rotation because they’re just that good!

Add Veggies: Throw in some sliced onions or sliced bell peppers in the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. They will soften as they cook with the chicken while adding extra nutrition to your meal. Beans: Canned beans would be a tasty texture to add to the chicken. Try pinto beans or black beans, or use your favorite beans because any kind would work in this recipe. Just drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the slow cooker. Easy Cleanup: To make cleanup easier, line your crock pot with a slow cooker line or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Shredding Tips: An easy way to shred the chicken is by using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer. Two forks will do the trick, but I find that the chicken shreds better and much easier with the mixer. Serving: Skip the tortillas and serve this chicken over a salad, rice, or on a plate of nachos!

In the Refrigerator: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. In the Freezer: Once cooled, place the leftovers in a sealable bag or airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To Reheat: Thaw frozen meat in the refrigerator then reheat the salsa chicken in the microwave or over the stove until warmed through.
