Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

If you didn't already know, my other obsession is Mexican food.

I could eat it every single day, and it's not John's favorite but he lets me cook it every now and then cuz he loves me :)

Mothers Day was a really relaxing day for us, after church we came home & I was already thinking about dinner. So, I looked up a few different recipes, got the "jist" of it and made these!

I was going to take a picture of all three, and then I got busy eating the other two...oops

Ingredients

-Chicken breasts (I used two)

- A 16oz can of salsa

- 1 Lime, juiced

-Cilantro: 2-3 tbs

-Taco Seasoning- one packet

-Garlic

-Onion Salt

-Small corn tortillas (white/yellow)

Directions

In the crock pot mix the can of salsa, cilantro, lime juice, packet of taco seasoning and a little bit of garlic for taste. Once mixed, add in the two thawed chicken breasts, coat the chicken with the sauce and cover on High for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, check that chicken is cooked through, and then shred. Put the shredded chicken back in the crock pot and mix it all up, turn it to low for at least another hour.

Place 6 corn tortillas on a cookie sheet and place in the oven on 350 to warm them up- maybe 5 minutes if the oven is preheated.

Spoon the amount of meat you need, onto a non-stick frying pan and cook on medium heat to dry it out a little and soak in more of the flavor.

Take the tortillas out, place the chicken in the middle, cilantro on top and a little cheese.

Now, I made a sauce for ours. It looks like guacamole but it's a lot different. I really just threw a bunch of stuff together and mashed it up but it was delicious!

Here's the recipe for that!
