Tacos | The Megalomaniac Mommy

We tend to eat A LOT of chicken around here and I am always trying to find new things to do with it. Sunday, we tried out a new recipe I stumbled on quite some time ago and it is something we will now be doing on a regular basis because everyone in the family LOVED it!

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:

7 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 packet taco seasoning

16 oz. salsa

Directions:

Throw all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. Shred chicken and serve on tortillas with all of your favorite taco toppings!

THESE WERE TO DIE FOR YUMMY!

We had so much left over after feeding 5 of us that we put some in the fridge for leftovers and still managed to put enough away in a freezer bag and freeze for another time!

In light of our family New Years resolution to give up fast food, we have been eating more home cooked meals therefore we have been experimenting and trying new recipes.

Last night’s dinner consisted on some awesome Mini Mexican Inspired Meatcakes and Mexican Rice.
It was AWESOME!!

To make the meatcakes you will need:

1lb. ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 egg
12 saltine crackers crushed (about 1/2 cup)
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup thick and chunky salsa

PreHeat the oven to 400*

Mix the beef, onions, egg and crackers with 1 cup of the cheese and a 1/2 cup of the salsa.
Press into 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray and indent each in the center with a spoon.
Bake 20-25 minutes and then top with the remaining cheese and salsa and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Serve and enjoy!
We served ours with Mexican rice along with salsa and sour cream on the side.
