Easy Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos

Face it.

It’s hot out there, Miami has become an unbearable outdoor sauna.

Honestly, I do not want to bake, or cook, since the weather is driving me crazy. In these instances I rely on my good ol’ slow cooker. It does all the work for me while I’m at the pool or beach and it won’t heat my entire house.

These Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos are the perfect summer dinner. You can serve a big bowl of the chicken, guacamole, sour cream, veggies, shredded cheese and warm tortillas.

Taco Tuesday becomes the highlight of the week since everybody can customize their own.

My perfect taco has chicken, tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, lettuce, and sour cream. YUM!

The bird cooks up juicy, tender, and flavorful thanks to cooking it low and slow.

You can make it in advance, refrigerate, and heat up whenever you want to serve dinner.

This recipe is excellent for entertaining as well.  Just create your very own chicken taco bar buffet style. It makes for an inexpensive low effort party idea.

I’ll bring the margaritas 🙂

Don’t forget to place hot sauce on your table in case family members prefer their tacos spicy. In my case, my husband.

I like it medium to mild. Sometimes I’ll throw in some seeded jalapeños for an extra pop in flavor.

Limes go great as a finisher for these Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos. The acid goes perfect with the savory chicken. Add a bit at a time until your desired flavor is achieved.

I hope you can try this delicious Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet.
