Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 812 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 avocado, sliced or diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in a single layer in your slow cooker and sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over them.
  2. Add diced onion, minced garlic, diced tomatoes with green chiles, chicken broth, and lime juice on top of the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender and reaches 165°F.
  4. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks, then stir to incorporate all the cooking liquid and seasonings.
  5. Allow the shredded chicken to remain in the slow cooker on “warm” setting for an additional 15-20 minutes to absorb more flavor.
  6. Warm tortillas, fill with chicken mixture, and top with cheese, lettuce, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
