What Ingredients do I need for Chicken Tacos?
Chicken: Breast halves or boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer are both great for tacos.
Vegetables: Onions and garlic. I use white onions but yellow works for this recipe.
Seasonings: Salt, Black Pepper, and taco seasonings. Here is a link to make a simple homemade taco seasoning
Liquids: Water and Olive oil. Vegetable or canola oil can also be used for this recipe.
Tortilla: Corn tortillas or flour tortillas (6-inch size)
Cooking Chicken in the slow cooker
- Place chicken in the slow cooker with all ingredients.
- When the chicken is done, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
- Leave liquids in the slow cooker.
- With 2 forks, shred the chicken, then place it back in the slow cooker with seasoned liquids, and turn the settings to warm.
Warm corn tortillas in a microwave for 10 seconds, or in a cast-iron pan.
Take a couple of tablespoons of warm shredded chicken and place it in a warm tortilla, and load it with your favorite toppings.
