Equipment
- Slow cooker
Ingredients
- 2 lb. chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 16 oz. salsa (1 jar); any kind
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne or more if you want it spicier
for serving:
- 8 corn tortillas
- toppings: avocado, red onion, cheddar cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, etc.
Instructions
- Place the chicken inside your slow cooker, then pour the salsa and water over top. Sprinkle the seasonings over everything, place a lid on top and cook the chicken on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
- Once the chicken is done, use two forks to shred it, then give everything a good stir.
- Last, assemble your tacos: char the tortillas (optional -- I usually do this directly over the stove), then place the chicken, along with any toppings in the tacos (I used red onion, avocado and cilantro). Enjoy!
