I don’t know how the weather is where you live, but it’s hot here. Just this week, we’re hitting the 100’s in Texas, and I am still not ready for it. And since it’s so stifling outside, I’ve put a temporary moratorium on using the oven. Our poor air conditioner is working overtime as it is, and when we fired up the grill, stovetop, and oven on July 4th, our AC couldn’t keep up. The house was uncomfortably warm until 10 p.m. that night. Because of this, I’ve been using the slow cooker like it’s going out of style and this recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos is one of my favorites.

If you need an entree that’s no fuss and requires little preparation, this recipe is for you. If you’ve got an infant at home like I do and want a warm meal at the end of the day without having to jump through hoops, strap said baby to your body while you make a meal or grab takeout, you’re really going to love this recipe. If it’s 100 degrees outside, and you cannot fathom cooking anything indoors because it’ll get too hot, this recipe is for you.

I’ve been making renditions of this slow cooker chicken taco recipe for years, and it has yet to let me down. The chicken cooks slowly and shreds beautifully when all is said and done. The veggies practically melt into the chicken, and the melding of flavors is delightful.

And the best thing about this dish?

It’s easy. Soooooo easy. You’re absolutely going to love these Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos.

Autobiographical food with a side of Southern flair. Fairly positive cooking/baking is my love language.
