Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos

In the mood for tacos? What about flavorful tacos that are easy to prep and can be made in the slow cooker?  I’m all about ease these days, with summer winding down and a new school year upon us I am ready for easy meals that pack a flavorful punch.  This slow cooker shredded chicken not only taste amazing but is very versatile as it can be used to create several dishes. Use this shredded chicken for burritos, tacos, enchiladas, nachos or tortas.

The chicken is perfectly flavored with the help of my good friends at Old El Paso. I used their original taco seasoning mix and added a bit of spice with their chopped green chiles. You can totally leave out the green chiles, but they do add a layer of warmth to the chicken that is crazy good. Slow cooked until fork-tender and then shredded and piled high on warm flour tortillas this chicken is a great recipe to have in your collection.
