Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the salsa over the chicken, and sprinkle the taco seasoning on top. Drizzle with olive oil.
  2. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  4. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  5. Assemble Tacos: Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
