Crock pot Chicken Ranch Tacos
Description
Crock pot Chicken Ranch Tacos use boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked directly in a crock pot along with salsa, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix. The chicken can be frozen when added, allowing convenient preparation. The low or high setting slow cooks the chicken until tender and shreddable.
After cooking, the chicken is shredded with a hand mixer or forks to create a moist, spiced filling well-suited for tortillas. The seasoning blend and salsa add a tangy and savory flavor profile that complements taco toppings.
Serve the shredded chicken in warm corn or flour tortillas with your preferred toppings. A squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens the flavor and balances the spice.
Using a hand mixer accelerates shredding for an easier cleanup. You can freeze cooked shredded chicken for later meals. Adjust the amount of seasoning to taste.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (I like homemade recipe)
- 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning mix
- tortillas (corn or flour, whichever you prefer)
Instructions
- Place the chicken (can be frozen) in the crock pot.
- Pour salsa on top and sprinkle with taco seasoning and ranch dressing seasoning mix.
- Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4.
- Shred the chicken.
- Serve on tortillas and your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
- Use a hand mixer to shred chicken quickly and easily after cooking.
- Squeezing fresh lime juice over the tacos adds brightness and enhances flavor.
