Crockpot Chicken Tacos

These Crockpot Chicken Tacos need only 5-ingredients and a crockpot, or slow cooker, to make incredibly moist and tender Mexican style chicken tacos for taco night or any night.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Do you have taco night once a week? These Crockpot Chicken Tacos are a lifesaver because they are so easy to make yet so delicious. They are one of my favorite Mexican recipes and when served with Mexican Rice or Mexican Cabbage Slaw, you can enjoy a complete Mexican Food dinner. Don’t forget the Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars for dessert.

Living in Texas, my family expects tacos at least once a week.  In Texas, it seems that tacos once a week is a requirement to live in the state.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

In my first job out of college, we had weekly meetings every Monday morning, and they must include breakfast tacos. One new employee moved down to Texas from Canada and thought we were pulling her leg when we said we were having tacos for breakfast. She quickly found out that we were very serious, and she grew to love breakfast tacos and tacos of all kinds.

It seems to be universal here. Everyone loves tacos! Everything tastes better in a corn or flour tortilla.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Fall always seems like the busiest time of year for us. Work picks up to a frantic pace, everyone I know is busy with work, school activities, and a lot gets done during this time of year. Of course, that means there is less time for other routine things, like cooking dinner.

That is why the crockpot, or slow cooker, is such a lifesaver this time of year. You can throw all the ingredients in the crockpot before you leave for work and then come home and have dinner ready. It is one less thing to worry about, one less thing to stress over.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

These Crockpot Chicken Tacos are really so easy, they hardly need a recipe.

Just add the chicken breasts into a crockpot or slow cooker.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Sprinkle taco seasoning over the top.

Dump the pico de gallo (juices and all) or canned tomatoes and chiles (undrained) into the crockpot on top of the chicken.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Allow the chicken to cook on low in the crockpot about 6 – 8 hours.

When you come back home or finish whatever you were doing, come back and shred the chicken and let it cook for another 30 minutes.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Then place the chicken in corn or flour tortillas and top with pico de gallo or your favorite toppings for some awesome Crockpot Chicken Tacos. Serve it with Mexican Rice or Mexican Cauliflower Rice.

This chicken is so good that it can be used in a variety of different recipes, including nachos, enchiladas, Chicken Empanadas, etc.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Be sure to make these Crockpot Chicken Tacos on taco night or any night where you have a full day and need something easy to throw together for dinner.
