Crock Pot Tacos and Salsa

I've made this before and my kids were okay-ish w/ it. Then we went to a FRIEND'S house and she served her homemade salsa and it made the WHOLE difference. Now they LOVE it.
frozen chicken breasts, 1/2 c. of salsa (if you want it spicey use medium or hot), can of black beans, can of white beans and a can of corn. Cook in crockpot on low all day or 4-5 hours on high.
Serve on warmed tortillas with cheese, avocados, lettuce, tomatoes, and the homemade salsa. (Recipe below......its to die for. I made it the first time 2 weeks ago and Brooks keeps downing it and I just eat it w/ a spoon!)
 
Blender Salsa
(But I use my food processor)
2 cans diced tomatoes (or fresh equivalent)--3 if want it milder
Juice of half a lemon/lime
1/2 purple onion chopped--or whatever onion you have
Few fresh garlic cloves or a teaspoon powder
Salt and pepper (I usually do the amount I would need on the tomatoes if I were to eat them plain)
Small bunch of cilantro chopped
1 jalapeƱo-cook in microwave in a ziplock Baggie for about a min til soft, the chop up (leave the seeds in it for it to be a bit spicier)

-pulse blend it all together

  1. My girls loved the tacos!! I mention them because I have a hard time getting them to eat stuff on soft taco shells, but they kept telling me they loved it. I loved that it was so fast and easy. Thank You!!
