▢ 2 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

▢ 1 onion (finely diced)

▢ 1 Tablespoon minced garlic

▢ 16 ounces salsa

▢ 1 teaspoon lime juice

▢ 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

In the container of a slow cooker, add onion, minced garlic, salsa, lime juice and seasonings. Stir to combine.

Add chicken breasts and stir to ensure they are covered with the salsa mixture.

Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

Shred chicken with two forks in the slow cooker and stir it into the salsa mixture.

Cook for an additional 1 hour with the lid slightly ajar (to let moisture escape).

Serve in tortillas with your favorite taco toppings!
