Chicken Tacos

2 lb. chicken
1 can salsa
2 cans black beans
1 can corn
Tortillas

Optional Toppings:
Cheese
Sour Cream/Ranch
Lettuce

Put frozen chicken right in crock pot. Cook on high 6-8 hours. When you have about an hour left, shred the chicken (using 2 forks) and add the rest of the stuff - let warm for about another hour. Serve on tortillas with optional toppings. Yields: 10-12 big tacos?

Price Guesstimate: $10 (not including toppings)

Steph's Comments: I absolutely love these tacos - they are super easy and so delicious. They're also filling enough that you don't need to have much else with it, which is nice. A fun side note on cooking the tortillas that I learned from my brother-in-law Lynden (who is a super good cook!) is to put the tortillas on a pizza stone with shredded cheese on top and cook them for a few minutes in the oven on really high (like 450) - this makes the tortillas crispy and melts the cheese - it makes the tacos taste way more fancy, and it doesn't take very long! Yum! This is also a recipe that freezes VERY well - we usually only have one big taco each (they are way filling) and then freeze the rest for another couple meals later.

  1. how much is one can of salsa? I've never bought salsa in a can but probably should.

  2. I'll have to try that tortilla tip. That sounds really good.

  3. Sorry - "can of salsa" was a pretty vague. I would probably say 2-3 cups of salsa.
