These slow cooker salsa chicken tacos are an easy way to get a yummy dinner on the table, even when you don’t have time to cook. With less than one minute of prep work and just three simple ingredients, get ready to say hello to the easiest dinner you’ve ever had!

I remember doing back to school shopping with my mom when we were younger and listening to her hum/sing, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” as we cruised down the aisles picking out gluesticks, pencils, and new shoes. At the time, I never quite understood why she loved singing that song when we were still four months away from Christmas. But, now that I’m older with a couple little monkeys of my own, I TOTALLY get why she was singing it. I mean, it really is the most wonderful time of the year, and not just because parents get to take a breather. 😉

Back to school time is fun, exciting, and BUSY! With so much going on, quick and easy meals are a necessity, and that’s what’s so great about these Salsa Chicken Tacos. My mom made these a lot when we were growing up, and we loved eating them! I make them all the time now, especially on days when I know I won’t have much time to make dinner.

You just throw some chicken breasts, taco seasoning, and salsa into the slow cooker and let it cook on low all day. Once you get home, shred the chicken with a couple of forks, then serve it over soft or hard taco shells with your favorite toppings! It also tastes great over tortilla chips for homemade nachos. Or if you’d prefer a lighter meal, just stuff it into large leaves of lettuce to make lettuce wraps. My son always cleans his plate when I make these. Seriously, y’all, they are so yummy and EASY!
