How to cook:

In a Crockpot, combine all ingredients and stir. Don't add water. Cover. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or cook on high for 3-3 1/2 hours.
Shred the chicken breasts with a hand mixer or with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the Crockpot if you shredded it by hand. See Note for more detail.
Stir shredded chicken together with the sauce. Cook uncovered on high 30 minutes or on low 60 minutes.
Make the avocado-cilantro sauce: combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until very smooth with additional salt to taste.
Heat tortillas. By microwave: wrap all tortillas in a couple of very lightly damp paper towels and microwave about 20 seconds or until warm. By skillet: heat a medium or large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat until warm. Working one at a time, add a tortilla and cook until light brown spots appear on the bottom side, about 15 seconds. Flip and repeat, cooking about 15 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas, covering in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Make tacos: use tongs to portion shredded chicken into warm tortillas. Drizzle avocado-cilantro sauce over. See Note for drizzle suggestions. Top with crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheese, chopped red onions, or other toppings, as desired.

Provided by: divas can cook
Total time: 135 minutes
Cook time: 120 minutes
Prep time: 15 minutes
Yields: 4 servings
Cuisine: American,Mexican
Number of ingredients: 12

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 cup fresh salsa (use your favorite kind)
1 packet taco seasonings mix (1 oz size packet)
6 taco shells
shredded lettuce
shredded cheese
diced tomatoes
sour cream
guacamole
diced red onions
fresh lime juice
fresh cilantro or parsley

How to cook:

In a large bowl, stir together salsa and taco seasoning until well combined.
Pour mixture into crock pot.
Add the chicken thighs, toss them in the mixture front and back, and place them in a single layer if possible.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours (I've tried this on low for 4 hours, but I swear they seem less tender this way. Strange, I know.)
When ready to serve, remove chicken from the crock pot and shred (chicken will be very tender and will practically shred itself.)
Taste and season with any additional seasonings if desired. If extra salsa is in the crock pot, you can mix some into the chicken if desired. (Depending on the flavor of your salsa, you may have to add a bit of salt or other spices to suit your taste)
Drizzle chicken with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve with your favorite taco toppings

Notes: Slow Cooker Queso Chicken Tacos (4-Ingredients), Instructions: · Place chicken in a 6-qt slow cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and top with tomatoes. · Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours.
