Crockpot Taco Meat
Slow Cooker Taco Meat Recipes have been around for a long time… I am not the first or the last person to ever post a recipe for slow cooker tacos on the web. However, mine is a little different because it includes shredded chicken instead of beef. I love this simple 2-ingredient version so much, I thought it was worth sharing. Years ago, I had a friend who used to make shredded taco chicken in the crockpot. She would add chicken, a taco seasoning packet, green chiles, some broth, and fresh cilantro to a slow cooker, then let it simmer all day long. Later she would shred the chicken and lay out taco fixings. A simple crowd-pleasing dinner, large enough to feed a group!
2-Ingredient Shredded Chicken Tacos Recipe
Using a taco seasoning packet is a good way to season taco chicken, yet we’ve discovered we love the flavor even better when the chicken simmers in tantalizing salsa verde all day. 2-Ingredient Crockpot Taco Chicken is essentially that… Just dump both in the slow cooker, turn it on, and let it work its magic! Let’s break down what the salsa verde does for the chicken… The tang of tomatillos and lime, mixed with a spicy kick from jalapeños and green chiles, makes the chicken taste especially fresh and zesty. You are going to love this!

What Brand of Salsa Verde is Good to Use for This Recipe?
Personally, I like the brands Frontera, Stonewall Kitchen, Mrs. Renfro’s. and Xochitl. If you can’t find any of these, just look for a salsa verde that is chunky with a deep green color. I also have a salsa verde recipe you can make from scratch, if you feel so inclined or can’t find any salsa verde at your grocery store. Here is the link!
What Do You Top The Tacos With?
In this recipe, I used guacamole, queso fresco, and pico de gallo to finish off my tacos.
