The 'Brown Pants' Blog: What's For Dinner??

it was Lime Chicken Tacos at our house!!

Let me just say YUM!!

Alex and I went to go visit his Mum a while back and every time we go back to see her she always has some kind of fun magazine for me to look through. This time she had a magazine FULL of recipes!

This made me happy!!

I went through said magazine and tore my little heart out.(Now that I look back at the situation I likely should have just taken the entire book!! haha)

Here is one of the recipes that I stole and it has since become one of our favorites. Not only because it is delicious but it is also wicked easy and fast!!

Lime Chicken Tacos

yield: 12 Tacos.

1-1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast

3 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp chili powder

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup chunky salsa

1. Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine lime juice and chili powder; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken in tender.

2. Remove chicken; cool slightly. Shred meat with two forks and return to slow cooker; heat through. Stir in corn and salsa.

3. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or until heated through. Serve in tortillas with sour cream, cheese and lettuce if desired

BEFORE:

lime juice and chili powder paste.

I have never cooked this in the slowcooker. (I think mainly because I never think about whats for dinner before I leave for work in the morning!! I am not that organized of a wife yet!! I am still new at this whole wife thing!! Give me some time!)

SO.. I always just cook the chicken breasts in the pan with a little bit of olive oil then shred it after it is all the way cooked. (wait 5minutes to let the juices set in. That is my Food Network lesson for the day!!)
