Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by placing your boneless chicken breasts into a slow cooker. Ensure they lay flat at the bottom for even cooking. Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
  2. Place the cream cheese on top of the seasoned chicken breasts.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken right inside the slow cooker.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, or in the microwave, warm your tortillas until they are soft and pliable.
  6. Scoop a generous portion of the creamy chicken mixture onto each warmed tortilla.
  7. Top each taco with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, crisp lettuce, or any other desired toppings.
  8. Serve your Crack Chicken Tacos immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy their creations.
