Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortillas
- Shredded cheese
- Other desired toppings (such as lettuce, tomato, sour cream)
Instructions:
1. In a slow cooker, combine the chicken breast, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
4. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir in any remaining juices.
5. Serve the shredded chicken hot with tortillas, shredded cheese, and other desired toppings.
Tips:
- For an extra kick, you can add some jalapeño peppers or hot sauce to the slow cooker.
- You can also use rotisserie chicken instead of boneless, skinless chicken breast for a quicker cooking time.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this recipe in a pot on the stove by cooking the chicken and vegetables until they are tender and shredding it with two forks.
