    Slow Cooker Verde Chicken Tacos is truly a "toss it in the slow cooker and run out the door" meal! Just a few ingredients are thrown together and three easy steps later--dinner is served!

     

    Using jarred salsa verde is a real time-saver in this recipe! It adds so much flavor from the ingredients it contains. Those ingredients would take FOREVER to chop. This is smart shortcut that will save you so much time and energy on those busy weekday nights.

     

    High quality taco seasoning is a MUST in this recipe! You can use store-bought, but I recommend making this recipe with my homemade taco seasoning. This blend will result in the most flavorful tacos you've ever tasted!
