These Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos are so delicious and simple to make! A five ingredient dump-and-go meal that takes minutes to prepare and cooks all day in the slow cooker!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts ((fresh or frozen))
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix ((I use low sodium))
  • 1 16 oz jar salsa ((use your favorite; I used a local Texas brand))
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • juice from two limes

Directions

  1. 1

    Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the top, then cover with salsa, lime juice, and cilantro.

  2. 2

    Place lid on top and cook for four hours on high, or 6-7 hours on low. Remove chicken from crockpot to a separate bowl and shred with two forks. Moisten chicken with small amounts of juice left over from the crockpot until you get the amount of moisture that you like. I used about 1/2 - 3/4 cup juice.

  3. 3

    Serve with taco shells or tortillas, adding on your favorite toppings. I like to use shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, cheese, sour cream, and even a drizzle of ranch dressing. Enjoy!
