Directions
QUESADILLA SAUCE:
1. Combine all ingredients in a sealable container and refrigerate for at least a half hour so flavors meld.
CHICKEN:
2. Place chicken in a slow cooker.
3. Sprinkle Taco Seasoning on top of chicken.
4. Slowly add water.
5. Top with Salsa.
6. Cook on Low 6-8 hours, or high 4-6 hours. Chicken is done when it shreds easily.
7. When chicken is cooked, carefully drain excess water, taking care to reserve as much salsa as possible.
8. Shred chicken using 2 forks (chicken should still be in crock pot. If not, it's ok, just do it in a large bowl or container).
9. Mix Quesadilla Sauce into Shredded Chicken.
Voila!
