Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and transfer them to the insert of your slow cooker. Set aside.
Prepare the salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine salsa, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic, and cilantro or parsley; mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the salsa mixture over the chicken and turn the chicken to coat.
Cook. Cover with a lid and cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours or on LOW for 4 to 5 hours.
Shred the chicken. Remove the lid, transfer the chicken to a cutting board, and shred it with two forks. Stir the chicken back into the slow cooker to coat with the sauce.
Assemble. Evenly divide the chicken over warm tortillas and garnish the chicken tacos with your chosen toppings. Serve.
