Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Combine the shredded turkey, cilantro, diced jalapeño pepper, and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Pour in enough chicken broth to almost cover the ingredients, ensuring the turkey is mostly submerged. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 hrs

Cook on Low heat for at least 3 hours, or until the turkey is infused with the spicy flavors. (3 hours)

04

Step
5 mins

Warm the flour tortillas on a griddle or in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until pliable and lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Fill each tortilla with the flavorful turkey mixture and serve immediately with your favorite taco toppings.

For extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of lime juice to the turkey mixture before serving.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to suit your spice preference.
These tacos are also delicious with corn tortillas.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the slow cooker, such as diced onions or bell peppers.
Serve with your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

    I added a can of diced tomatoes to the slow cooker for extra moisture and it was a hit!

    Quick, easy and flavorful. I like a little heat, so I did not remove the seeds from the jalapeno.
