Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

These crazy easy Mexican shredded chicken tacos are a true family favorite.  I easily make them once a week and they’re healthy, hearty, and always satisfying.  Just dump everything in the crockpot, let it cook all day and come dinnertime, you have the most flavorful, juicy Mexican pulled chicken.  Make traditional tacos by serving it with soft corn tortillas or hard shells and top with guacamole and cheese.  Or, I like to make some Mexican bowls by putting the shredded chicken on top of a bed of rice and beans and topping with guacamole.  Enjoy!
