SLOW COOKER MEXICAN SHREDDED CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Chicken image

This slow cooker recipe is great for those busy weekdays. We like this shredded chicken in tacos but it could be used in a lot of different dishes. Kid-tested and approved! Freeze the leftovers for a quick meal later! Serve in tacos, taquitos, enchiladas, salad, chicken soup, or shredded chicken sandwiches!
