An Old Favorite Recipe: Lime Chicken Tacos

One of our summer goals was to explore recipes that did not use our favorite appliance- the slow cooker. This week, I'm bust working all day at a camp through my school district. So, we decided to bust out an old favorite in our slow cooker. These Lime Chicken Tacos were the first thing we cooked together after we got married (or, let's be honest, ever), and they are still our very favorite dish. They are adapted from pinterest and from a recipe from Taste of Home. We have added our own little twists to it, though.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 cup black bean and corn salsa (we really like the Market Pantry kind. I could probably eat my weight in it)
  • tortillas (I like corn, Jacob likes flour)
  • shredded cheese and guacamole to top
  1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker. Combine lime juice and chili powder; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is tender.
  2. Shred chicken in slow cooker. Add salsa.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or until heated through. Serve on tortillas with desired garnishes.
We hope that you enjoy as much as we have! :)
