With 3 children and lots of after school activities the week day dinner time can be very crazy. I tend to use the crock pot more. It is my little helper on days when you need to eat and run or run than eat. My favorite are Boston butt- you can do sandwiches, with the leftovers you can make anything from pasta, pizza and tacos. Beef tips over rice. Beef stew. Chili. Pot roast with potatoes and carrots.
But my all time favorite is crock pot fajitas. Super easy and fast.
In the morning (at the night before and stick in frig till the morning)
Put one can of Rotel, one pack of taco season mix in the bottom of crock pot. Mix together.
Add 6 chicken breast.
Top with sliced onions, sliced bell peppers, and fresh cilantro.
Cover and cook on low for up to 6 hours.
Remove chicken and shredd with 2 forks.
Add the chicken back to the crock pot and mix with the rotel mixture.
Serve with tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. ( or whatever taco toppings you like)
With the left overs I sometimes roll out frig pizza dough and top with the chicken and Mexican blend cheese. 2 meals!
Hope you enjoy!
