Crockpot Chicken Tacos

sounds yummy!

I made my own version last night. just dumped some salsa and cumin in with the chicken breast and cooked..
going to eat with black beans tonight.. super yummy!

Sounds yummy!

thanks! am so gonna try this!

I like using the crock pot once the weather cools off. I have a ton of venison to use, this will be a great way to use it, just substitute for chicken.

Try doing taco shells my way sometime:
I spray a corn tortilla both sides with Pam, and then either heat them on a cast iron skillet or my outdoor grill. Do one side, then fold into a shell and do the other side half at a time. They come out great, not super greasy but still have that homemade taco shell flavor and style. A lot less calories then deep fried.

Try using a half wedge of laughing cow chipolte cheese instead of the sour cream and taco cheese. it'll save you a bunch of calories.

Bump!

Here's my chicken tacos, using grilled chicken. As you can tell I like veggies. I always use cabbage and feta cheese, a lot more flavorful. That's a roasted and half peeled jalapeno on the side.

, Thanks, OK now I have to find my crockpot

Looks good! I made a salsa chicken in the crockpot once. The recipe is similar except I used salsa instead of the Rotel and I also threw in some corn.

Do you need any water to cover the dried beans or does the tomatoes take care of this..also wondering if canned black beans would work. Sounds delish.

Do you not need to put any water or anything for liquid...and do you unthaw chicken?

Check out the recipe again and you'll see that you soak the beans in water overnight, rinse and drain and then they go in the Crockpot. :flowerforyou:

When you work with dried beans you rinse the amount you'd like to use, sort through them so you don't toss in any stones or bits put them in a bowl or pot covered in water and leave them to soak overnight in the fridge. I rinse mine several times in between soaking and it's good to change the water each time doing this will keep gasses from building up.

Love love love soaking my Black (turtle) Beans for so many uses!

So no you won't need any more liquid to cook the beans than her recipe already shows. As already shared canned beans would work fine but the sodium in canned foods is a KILLER! So much more worth the time to start them from dried, but that's just me. I don't eat much food from a can because of that.

A few opinions on putting frozen chicken in the Crockpot, some say never, some say it doesn't matter.
I prefer to use it out of the pkg. defrosted myself.

Gotta remember to pick up some dried beans from the Coop tomorrow in the bulk section, I realized I'm out.:sad:

Sounds great!!
