Step 1: Prep Your Slow Cooker
First things first, get your slow cooker out and ready to go. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the cooker, then sprinkle the taco seasoning over the top. Pour the salsa over the chicken, making sure everything is nicely coated.
Step 2: Let It Cook
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The great thing about this recipe is that you can set it and forget it. Go about your day—run errands, catch up on a good book, or even take a well-deserved nap!
Step 3: Shred the Chicken
When the chicken is done, it should be tender and easy to shred. Use two forks to pull it apart right in the slow cooker. Mix it well with the salsa and juices.
Step 4: Assemble Your Burritos
Now for the fun part—assembling your burritos! Spoon some of that delicious shredded chicken onto a tortilla, add your favorite toppings, and roll it up. You can keep it simple or get creative with what you add.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your burritos warm, with a side of beans, rice, or a fresh salad if you like. And don’t forget the extra salsa and guacamole!
Tips for Success
- Make it your own: This recipe is super versatile. You can add beans or corn to the chicken while it’s cooking for extra flavor and texture.
- Freezer-friendly: The chicken filling freezes well, so you can make a big batch and save some for later.
- Spice it up: If you like things on the spicier side, use a hotter salsa or add some chopped jalapeños to the mix.
