Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ounces taco seasoning
  • 15 ounce jar salsa
  • 15 ounce jar salsa con queso

Instructions

  • Mix together chicken, taco seasoning, and salsa in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove chicken and shred using two forks. Return chicken to slow cooker and add queso. Stir until fully mixed together.
  • Serve in a tortilla or taco shell and add toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Helpful Tips:
  • Reduce cheese to half a jar if you like it a little less cheesy.
  • Jarred cheese such as Tostitos or On the Border seems to work best for this recipe.
Storage Options:
  • To Store: Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • To freeze: Allow to fully cool and place in an air-tight container and freeze for up to 2 months. You may note that the cheese tends to get runnier and thinner after freezing.
