Directions
2
Place the chicken breasts flat in the crockpot. Top with all of the spices, evenly distributed over each chicken breast. If you want, you can measure all of the spices into a bowl and mix them together. You can also sprinkle them individually over the chicken breasts.
3
After the spices are on the chicken, dump a jar of salsa evenly over the chicken breasts and top with the diced poblano pepper and lime juice
4
Set your crockpot for 4 or 8 hours (high or low) depending on when you want to eat the chicken. Once the chicken is done, you will take two forks and pull the chicken apart so it is shredded and mix all of the salsa and sauce together so everything is mixed together.
5
Put all of your toppings on a serving plate or little bowls so you can easily grab them while assembling your tacos
6
Serve and eat as many lettuce wrap tacos as you desire (you can also make into taco salad too if you desire)
