Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Forks for shredding chicken
  • Serving platter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese for topping
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and evenly sprinkle the taco seasoning over them for a well-seasoned dish that will be full of flavor once cooked.
  • Pour the salsa over the seasoned chicken to create a flavorful base that will infuse the meat with delicious Mexican-inspired flavors as it simmers in the crockpot.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until it is tender and easily shreddable with a fork, allowing the meat to absorb all the tasty seasonings and salsa for a rich taste.
  • Shred the cooked chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks to soak up all the delicious flavors and juices, ensuring each bite is packed with savory goodness.
  • Sprinkle the shredded chicken with the Mexican cheese blend, cover, and let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and creates a gooey, cheesy topping for the tacos.
  • Serve the flavorful chicken queso mixture on warm flour tortillas, and top with diced onions, chopped cilantro, and any desired toppings to customize each taco to your liking, creating a delicious and satisfying meal.
