The perfect use for leftover Five Ingredient Salsa Verde, these slow cooker pulled chicken tacos are full of bright, fresh flavors.
As a busy working mom, I am all about finding ways to re-purpose ingredients throughout the week to save time and money. After making a big batch of Five Ingredient Salsa Verde, I knew almost immediately I wanted to use leftovers to create a slow cooker shredded chicken recipe.
The end result? Mouth-watering chicken tacos that are full of bright, slights-smoky salsa verde flavors. To make the corn tortillas warm and pliable, I always char them quickly using tongs over the open flame on our stove top.
Of course, just like any large-batch pulled meat recipe, you could use leftovers in salads, soups, served over rice or even stuffed into a sweet potato. I love serving it with a fried egg on top as well. The options are endless.
No forks required.
