Check out any of these for 2.8 texturing guidance:

However, understand that these were both recorded while 2.8 beta and some aspects of current 2.8 may be different.

In the UV Editor, name your image data block (e.g. "Monkey")
In the Properties panel, go to Material
Create one if it doesn't exist. It should say Surface: Principled BSDF
Click the white dot to the right of Base Color, Select Image Texture
Click the image icon to the left of +New, and select your image data block, "Monkey"
Make sure your viewport is in Lookdev or Rendered mode. Eevee/Cycles doesn't matter.

Later on, you're likely to save your image texture to a file in #1 and/or may reference a file with Open in #5.
