Easy Chicken Tinga Tacos image

I created this recipe one New Year's Eve when looking for an easy chicken tinga. This is always a big hit at my parties. The leftovers taste great and you can serve it the next day over rice, or anything really!

Time 6h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 tablespoon garlic powder
7 ounces chipotle salsa
1 (14 ounce) can pickled carrots and jalapenos, sliced
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
12 (6 inch) warm corn tortillas, or as needed
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Lay in a slow cooker and sprinkle with garlic powder. Pour salsa over top and then picked carrots and jalapenos, plus all juices.
  • Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 7 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and sprinkle seasoned salt in. Mix around the chicken in the juices.
  • Fill warmed tortillas with chicken mixture and top with sour cream.
