  3. Sprinkle the taco seasoning on top, ensuring good coverage.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender.

To serve, try it over rice, in taco shells, or as a salad topping. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for 3 months. For extra flavor, add more salsa or try substitute ingredients.
