The fastest, easiest and most delicious Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos ever! This is one of our tried and true family recipes. Perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TACOS
Weeknights are really busy for us right now. With 5 kids, each active in their own after school sports practices and games, we don’t have a lot of time on some days to spend in the kitchen making dinner. One of our favorite go-to family recipes for us are these Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos.
They are probably one of the easiest meals you will ever make. These Chicken Tacos literally take minutes to make and they are delicious. Everyone loves these at our house and I have even gotten some cheers when the kids have found out we are eating them for dinner.
HOMEMADE TORTILLAS
We always eat them with Costco’s uncooked tortillas. Have you ever tried them? They are so yummy. They are probably the hardest part of this weeknight dinner. Then you will just need to prepare the toppings for your tacos. I usually have the kids grate some cheese and slice the tomatoes, lettuce and avocados while I am cooking the tortillas on the stove top.
CHICKEN TACOS
Now for the recipe! Seriously…it doesn’t get any better than this. You probably won’t even need to print this recipe out because it is so easy to remember. But I will provide a printable recipe for you anyways so that you can keep a copy in your Family Recipe Book HERE.
I had a few people ask about the Slow Cooker that I use. I love this one HERE!

Can one use frozen chicken breasts? Any different cooking directions if it’s OK?
I actually almost always use frozen chicken breasts! So just follow all the directions and it will turn out great! Good question!!
We’ve always called this salsa chicken- I make extra and use leftover chicken for chicken tortilla soup the next day! Love this! Thanks!
Have you ever tried to lighten it up by using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Great idea. I will have to try it.
