A great easy crockpot recipe! We prefer to use corn tortilla’s because they are more authentic. On our honeymoon, we went to Mexico and had amazing tacos, they always told us that it wasn’t a real taco unless it was with a corn tortilla! Of course, if you prefer flour tortillas use those!

Equipment you’ll need:

• Slow Cooker

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tsp. white sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• corn tortillas

Put all ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on low until chicken is tender enough to shred, around 4 hours. Take chicken out and shred it and put on tacos. We use onions, cilantro, and lime as garnish on top, you can use whatever you like!

Erik had a craving for chili, so I decided to cook up a big batch. (Comes in so handy for lunches!) And even though it was a fairly hot day, we both enjoyed a big bowl of slow cooked chili. We were so excited to eat it - I forgot to take a picture! So you will have to use your imagination! Here is my recipe for slow cooker chili.

We love to top ours with cheddar cheese with a nice piece of hearty bread to dip with! Enjoy!

This was such an easy dinner and it tasted so good! My husband was even more happy that he was able to eat left overs for a week! (This makes a lot!) Serve with your favorite side!

Place pork roast in the slow cooker and add salt and pepper. Pour approx 2/3 bottle of sauce onto and and add coffee. Let it cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
