Instructions

Prepare the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker.
Mix the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the salsa, chicken broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
Slow cook the chicken: Set the slow cooker on low and cook for about 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining juices.
Prepare the tacos: Warm up the flour tortillas, then fill each one with the pulled chicken. Add your preferred toppings, serve, and enjoy these delightful pulled chicken tacos!

Notes

Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker. Adjust the quantities of chili powder and cumin to suit your spice preference. For a richer flavor, boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts. Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
