{Slow Cooker: Chicken Tacos}

I usually work late on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Either at the office or out showing property. So, coming home and making a meal has been um, not existent on those days. Then, I saw this recipe and remembered I have a slow cooker! PTL!

What you'll need:

• 2 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
• 1 whole onion, chopped
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 (12 oz.) jar of your favorite salsa
• 1 small can green chilies, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed 
• Tortillas

Toppings we used:

• 1 avocado, sliced 
• Shredded cheese
• Sour Cream {low fat}
• Lettuce
• Tomato 

Directions:

1. Place chicken in the bowl of your slow cooker. Top with salsa, chopped green chilies, cumin, onion, and garlic. Cover and set on low. Cook for 8 hours.
2. Remove chicken from pot, shred, and return to juices. {When I opened the lid the chicken had literally fallen apart on its own. I just stirred and voila!} 
3. Spoon chicken into tortillas, with whatever toppings your family likes. Or use the meat to make burritos, tostadas, or as filling for enchiladas.
4. Enjoy! 

I just might cut this recipe in half next time for just the two of us. But, we do have some good leftovers :)
