You guys asked for it… more slow cooker recipes! It’s all about these Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos today. Easy to make and even easier to eat, these are the perfect dinner for any night of the week
Remember my go-to Mexican chicken recipe that I’m obsessed with? It’s made an appearance on here multiple times, especially since you can use it in so many different recipes… and today it’s front and center with these tacos.
Tacos are one of my favorite comfort foods, plus who doesn’t want to come home from work and eat tacos and drink margaritas? I’ll tell you… nobody. I challenge you to think of a more perfect thing ever invented than tacos. You can use any kind of protein, or no protein. You can add copious amounts of guacamole and no one will second guess you. You can jazz them up with any kind of salsa you want. Cheese – totally acceptable. I mean, what more could you possibly ask for?
These Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos take almost no time to make and they’ll disappear faster than imaginable!

Oh wow these look super delicious. I bet the slow cooker really lets those flavors seep in too.
We loooove tacos at our house, great slow cooker recipe!!
Great slow cooker meal!
Dinner for tomorrow – Done!!! Love this.
These look so delicious!!!
I recently recieved a slow cooker and am obsessed! I love the idea of chicken tacos.
The shredded chicken recipe is a favourite of mine, I have some sitting in the fridge now. Great to see another idea for using it and also the slow cooker version of it, I’ve always made it in a skillet.
I’m starting to think that I should just give my slow cooker a home on my kitchen counter – I’ve been bookmarking recipes all week! This one tops the list. Thank you so much!
The slow cooker is definitely the way to go for busy days and these tacos would be a big hit for dinner at my house!
