Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

I don't know about you, but our family can never pass up a good Mexican style meal.  So, when we were early on in the changing our eating habits, I was given a recipe for crockpot tacos.  This was one of the first recipes I tried and it was such a great thing I did.  This recipe was a HIT (not just a little but a HUGE hit) and is still a favorite.

I encourage you to give it try.  Besides, you can't go wrong when you put things in a crock pot and it is ready by dinner time with little effort.

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:
1lb. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1-15oz. Can Black Beans, drained
1/2 tub Fresh Salsa (found in the produce dept. u)sually
1 packet Taco Seasoning
1/3 cp. Water
1/3 block cream cheese

Some Suggested Topping Options:
Romaine Lettuce
Greek Yogurt instead of Sour Cream
Tomatoes
Avocadoes
Shredded Cheddar Jack/Taco Cheese
Hot Sauce
Fresh Salsa + MORE

Directions:
- Put everything - EXCEPT the cream cheese, in a crockpot and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on High for 3-4 hours.

- Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it with 2 forks.  Place the shredded chicken back in the crockpot.

- 20 minutes before serving, add the 1/3 block of cream cheese & stir until melted.  Serve on whole wheat tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.

*Serve with a side salad or steamed veggies to round out your meal.
