Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Base
- 4–5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup beer (Corona, Modelo, or any Mexican beer preferred)
Seasonings and Sauce
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning (chef’s choice)
- 1 cup salsa (chef’s choice)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts, beer, taco seasoning, and salsa into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine everything well.
- Cook the Chicken: Set the slow cooker to cook on high for at least 2 hours or on low for at least 4 hours. The chicken is fully cooked once it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Shred the Chicken: Without draining the liquid, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks or a hand mixer for perfectly shredded meat. Combine the chicken well with the cooking liquid to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve: Use the shredded chicken as desired for tacos, and enjoy your flavorful meal!
Notes
- This recipe is family-friendly; any alcohol in the beer will cook out during slow cooking.
- For perfectly shredded chicken, use a hand mixer carefully. Warm liquid can splatter, so begin mixing on low speed to avoid spills.
