Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the salsa, taco seasoning, and water over the chicken.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet.
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add a scoop of cooked white rice if desired.
