Chicken Tacos (Before) Chicken Tacos (After)
During the my husbands travel weeks (or any time for that matter) my Crock-pot makes an appearance! Taco Tuesday is one of our favorite Crock-pot recipes because 1) It cooks while we are at work & school 2) Its all cooked in 1 pot and 3) the kids will eat it!! This recipe for Crock-Pot Chicken Tacos creates flavorful, incredibly tender shredded chicken that works beautifully in a variety of Mexican dishes. And don’t forget the Crock-pot liners for easy clean up!
