Slow-Cooker Chicken Tacos
Recipe: Alohamora
Active Time: 15 minutes 
Inactive Time: 4+ hours

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients: 

2 chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
2 Tbsp taco seasoning (1/2 package)
1 c. salsa
3/4 c. plain Greek yogurt
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

Directions: 

1. Place the chicken, frozen or thawed, into the bottom of the crock-pot. 
2. Put the taco seasoning on top of the chicken. 
3. Finally, pour the salsa over the top of it all.  You can use fruit or veggie salsa; both kinds are delicious. 
4. Close the lid and cook it in the crock-pot on low for 4-6 hours.  If the chicken is frozen lean more to 6 hours of cook time. 
5. When chicken is cooked, use two forks and shred the chicken right in the crock-pot. 
6. Stir the Greek yogurt and the black beans into the shredded chicken and let it cook in the crock-pot for another 10 minutes or so.  It really is just to warm it all together.  
7. Enjoy your chicken!  
8. If you are making tacos serve it with warm tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, green onions, and shredded cheese.  You could take out the warm tortillas from the previous list and make an awesome chicken taco salad.  As a dip serve the chicken with tortilla chips.  Really, the possibilities are endless... quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and more.  
9. Refrigerate leftover chicken.  

Easy peasy meal.  Enjoy!
