- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (mine were frozen)
- 16 ounces salsa 1 jar
- 1.25 ounces taco seasoning 1 packet
- 12 taco shells or flour tortillas
Toppings
- 1 cup guacamole
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 6 ounces sliced olives 1 can
- 1 cup sour cream
Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray for easy clean-up. Place chicken in the bottom, pour salsa on top, and sprinkle with taco seasoning.
Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
When chicken is done cooking, it will shred easily when stirred with a fork.
Place the chicken on crunchy taco shells or flour tortillas.
Top with guacamole, lettuce, shredded cheese, tomatoes, olives, sour cream, and any other taco toppings you love.
- You could also use the chicken for for enchiladas, nachos, tostadas, quesadillas, etc.
To turn this into a freezer meal:
Place chicken, salsa, and taco seasoning in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top and cook on LOW heat for 5-6 hours or until meat is completely cooked through (some slow cookers may take longer). Follow the rest of the directions as written.
