Crockpot Chicken Tacos

This stuff is terrible but it lasted over a week - tons and tons of chicken left. The salsa made this way to watery and I felt like I was eating cafeteria food only worse.

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
A chopped onion (optional)
A chopped green pepper (optional)
1 packet taco seasoning
16 ounces salsa (that's 2 cups if you're using a larger bottle).
Flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or taco shells
Toppings: your choice of lettuce, sour cream, grated cheese, tomatoes, salsa, diced purple onions, olives, guacamole, etc.
---
Put the chicken in a Crockpot. Add the onion and pepper if you want.

Pour the other stuff over the chicken.
Mix the seasoning with salsa and pour over chicken. You can add some more water if you think it needs more liquid, but the salsa and the chicken will produce ample liquid as it cooks.
Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.

Done cooking.
The chicken is done when it can be shredded easily with a fork.

Shred with a fork.
Lift the chicken out and shred it with a fork.
