    Slow Cooker Chicken Taco stew

    1 onion chopped
    1 16 oz can black beans
    1 16 oz can kidney beans
    1 16 oz can corn drained

    As usual I'm confused, "Chicken" taco stew? Is this kind of like the chicken in Chicken Fried Steak?

    My all time favorite slow cooker cookbook is "Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker" by Robin Robertson...I just picked it up at the library at one point. So, i'll just post one of my favorites. Even though it's all vegetarian there's some great veggie side dishes and just some tasty stuff.

    Half-Day Ratatouille (easy and pretty low on the calorie count)
    2 tbls olive oil
    1 sm. eggplant, cut into half inch dice
    1 sm. yellow onion, diced
    1 sm red bell pepper, half inch dice
    2 garlic cloves
    2 sm zucchini, cut into half inch rounds
    One 28 oz can diced tomatoes
    1 teas dried thyme
    salt and pepper
    3 tbsn pesto

    heat 1 tbsn oil in large skillet over med heat, add eggplant, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
    heat other tbsn oil in skillet, add onion, cover for 5 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients except for pesto. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
    Stir in pesto just before serving.

    This one is easy but the timing is short so it's a little tough sometimes. I usually serve it over some polenta, brown rice or with some crusty bread. this is supposed to serve 4-6, so the calories i came up with are 160-240.....hopefully my calculating was right.

    Enjoy
