- 8 soft flour tortillas
Optional Toppings

- sour cream
- avacados, sliced or diced or guacamole
- Jalapeno pepper, chopped or diced
- green onion. thinly sliced
Instructions
- Spray bottom of slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Place chicken in slow cooker and sprinkle as evenly as possible with Taco seasoning.
- Pour 1 ½ cups of salsa on top of the chicken.
- Cook covered on low for 6-7 hours or high 3-3 ½.
- Shred chicken with forks inside slow cooker or remove chicken and shred on cutting board.
- Once shredded chicken is done and inside slow cooker add peppers.
- Stir and cook covered on high for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
- Spoon about ⅔ of a cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla and add preferred toppings.
- Fold bottom end of tortilla over filling. Fold in sides, leaving top end open. Secure with a toothpick, if necessary.
Notes
- Add in some more: To make the dish healthier and more filling, you can also add in other mix-ins like jalapenos, green onions, onions, corn, olives, and even some pico de gallo if you want.
- Make it healthier: If you’re trying to control your carb intake, you can swap the regular tortillas for protein tortillas or just use some lettuce leaves instead. You can also add some beans into the mix along with the chicken to make it extend further and also add some fiber.
- Top with lime juice: You’ll be surprised at how just a little squeeze of lime juice can transform your tacos. Don’t forget this one!
- Experiment with cheese: Stick to the classic cheddar or Mexican cheese blend or experiment with other kinds of cheese like feta cheese and cotija cheese. You can also top the tacos with some sour cream or Greek yogurt if you want to keep it healthier.
