A delicious, easy-to-make slow cooker chicken tacos recipe featuring tender shredded chicken topped with fresh vegetables and herbs, served in warm corn tortillas.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the crockpot and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour chicken broth over the chicken.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  3. Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot and mix with juices.
  4. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and top with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

  • You can skip the broth if using a slow cooker with a tight lid; the chicken will still stay moist.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit cheese and sour cream.
  • Serve with additional toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream if desired.
