Instructions
Creating Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos can be a breeze if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
2. Season: Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies over the seasoned chicken. Follow with the chicken broth.
4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and can be easily shredded.
5. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then return to the slow cooker.
6. Add Queso: Pour in the queso dip and stir well to combine. Allow it to heat through for an additional 15-20 minutes on low.
7. Warm Tortillas: While the chicken is heating with the queso, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
8. Assemble Tacos: Spoon the queso chicken mixture into each tortilla. Top with your choice of optional toppings.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos warm, with extra queso on the side if desired.
