My first post all month so... I'll post about food (made and eaten back in March)!
This recipe was a hit with Bill, Addie, and my sister Katie and it was easy peasy!
Chicken Tacos!
Every time I get to use the crockpot, I'm all about it. I need to use it more and am not sure why I don't; but I love it, especially when it's this easy! This was my first time cooking chicken breasts in the crockpot - you should try it too!
 |
| Chicken Breasts and Salsa in the Crockpot for 2-3 hours (they cook quickly so be careful, even on the low setting) |
 |
| Cooked and cubed! |
 |
| Salsa made in my fabulous Christmas present food processor! |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Beans, Rice, Corn and Onion Mixture |
 |
| Plated up in Quesadillas with the works! |
 |
| Katie's gluten free version without flour tortilla on the right. |
 |
| A hit with Addie Jo |
 |
| Cheese! |
And there you have it! Lots of happy eaters!
Lol! I just posted a guacamole tasty tuesday!! I meant to link you, you know because it's your idea and all! I have missed your posts SO MUCH and want to come over and have this for dinner at your house!
ReplyDeleteYea! Every time I do a fresh mexican thing, I think of warm places like florida where you all are! On the beach, with a drink, and mangos and cilantro... haha can't help it!
DeleteAnd I've loved reading your posts the past couple of days! I wasn't even in the blogosphere while being sick - pretty lame - but hope I'm back for good ;)
I just linked you, so WATCH OUT for all the traffic you will get on your blog. That was a joke, of course!
ReplyDeletehaha you are so funny! I think I have to actually blog once in awhile to get any traffic heehee. love you!
DeleteMexican and the SAHM sisters - that sounds about right!! Phil is going to kill me when I tell him you can make salsa in the food processor. I've been making him hand chop all these years!
ReplyDeleteHaha well tell Phil that I usually do pico by hand but was reading that my food processor on the low setting still leaves it chunky! What does Phil put in? I mean you really can't go wrong with fresh salsa, right?
DeleteSince this food processor method, I usually use:
6 tomatoes
1/2 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 + lime
1/4 green pepper
1/2 a medium hot pepper
lots of kosher salt
1/2 bunch of cilantro
and then sometimes whatever else is around!
I will make lots this August!
Mom and dad are so excited to have you all around. We will keep those 4 big kids of yours entertained!
AND the state fair - one of the best in the country - is going on in August and Tuesdays are free so we'll definitely head down there!
Love this! And I love my crockpot...love having dinner cooking away all day! And homemade salsa? Who knew? I thought Ortega was the only one out there! : )
