And a successful one at that. First is the obvious crockpot dish -- corned beef. You throw the meat and spices in the pot, throw in some water, cook on low for 8 hours, and bam, done. I use the meat water to boil potatoes, carrots, and cabbage, and then we feast. 'Tis a tradition.
A portion of our Irish feast. The remainder is in the pot.
But this next crockpot recipe is something new I found on a website called Pinterest. Maybe you've heard of it.
I JEST.
Of course you've heard of Pinterest. You either think it's the best thing you have ever seen in your entire life, or 'twill be the ruination of the human race. Related: Why does everyone have their panties in a bunch about Pinterest? Humans! Silence!
This recipe is aptly called: Crockpot Chicken Tacos and it comes from a blog called Chocolate Therapy.
Here is what is awesome about Crockpot Chicken Tacos:
1) Tastes awesome.
2) Hella easy.
Yes, that is raw meat. Sorry.
The crockpot portion of this recipe contains three simple ingredients:
1) Chicken.
2) a packet of taco seasoning.
3) a jar of salsa. I used Herdez. When my husband tasted this he asked me to remember to always use Herdez because this recipe is the shitty bomb. That's a good thing, by the way.
Raw meat turns into THIS! The breasts get very tender and you can shred 'em up in a jiffy.
And then ... you slap the chicken in a small flour tortilla, throw on whatever you like ... I used lettuce, salsa, avocado, cheese, and sour cream. Tomatoes would be nice but I was out.
As I said, it is the shitty bomb. In a really good way.
Leftovers can be used for burritos, salads, tostadas, sandwiches, scrambles, etc, etc. 'Tis good.
Really 'tis.
And in case you are unaware...
Green Valley Organics is making a really delicious lactose-free sour cream these days.
This is a godsend to my husband, because regular sour cream makes his butt explode!
Toodles!
I might have to make that chicken recipe...it looks strikingly similar to something my roommate made the other week from a recipe she found on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteWC - my bet is it's the same thing. :)
ReplyDeleteYou make me giggle. And those look delish!
ReplyDeleteI always feel like chicken breasts in the crock pot get dried out because there such a lean cut of meat? What do you think?
