Salsa Chicken Tacos with Avocado Sauce

Thanks for sharing!

Salsa chicken tacos with avocado sauce is an easy family meal. Chicken cooks in the slow cooker and salsa comes together in a matter of minutes.

Making salsa chicken is probably one of the easiest meals I’ve ever made. It involves two ingredients – chicken breast and your favorite salsa. Doesn’t get much easier than that, right? If you want to take your chicken salsa one step further, how about turning it into tacos topped with a delicious avocado sauce? The sauce on top takes this chicken salsa to another level.

How to make this recipe

What toppings can I put on my tacos?

There are so many great toppings for tacos. Including olives, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, onions, cilantro, and more. 

How do I store my leftover chicken and sauce?

Store the shredded chicken and the avocado sauce separately. Properly stored in an airtight, cooked chicken will last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.  The avocado sauce, placed in an airtight container, will last for 3-4 days in the fridge.
