1 boneless skinless chicken breasts or (4 -5 lb) roasting chickens
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup water
1 dash salt

1
Add only 1/2 cup of water and the roast to crockpot.
2
Cover and cook on LOW setting 6-8 hours, until meat is tender and falling apart.
3
Remove roast from crockpot, allow to cool slightly; shred the meat, removing any remaining fat.
4
Remove any liquid from the crockpot and reserve it.

Place the meat back in the crockpot and season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and/or taco seasonings of your choice. Mix well to coat meat.
