  1. Start by placing 2-3 boneless chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Generously sprinkle the chicken with the taco seasoning, ensuring all sides are coated.

  3. Set your slow cooker to low and let the mixture cook for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  4. Once the cooking time is up, remove the cover and use two forks to shred the chicken in the slow cooker.
  5. Stir the shredded chicken with the melted cream cheese until well combined.
  6. Gently stir the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker, keeping it on the ‘warm’ setting.
  7. Warm your tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
  8. To assemble, scoop the shredded chicken mixture onto each tortilla and sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  9. Serve the Crack Chicken Tacos on a platter, garnished with additional cilantro or lime wedges.
