Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos - Measuring Flower

I was craving Mexican inspired flavors the other day and I also wanted to make something for dinner that was easy. So I put my slow cooker to use and tossed in some basic Mexican style ingredients that I had on hand. The result was this moist, delicious, spicy chicken taco.

This is a great recipe for any time of the year–cold or hot. I served ours with a side of brown rice because I have been doing the Trim Healthy Mama diet, so this turned the meal into an E (Energizing) one. I also was sure to add only a scant 1 teaspoon of cheese to keep it on the E spectrum. To add a zip of acidity, I squeezed a bit of fresh lime juice.

Here are handful of other Trim Healthy Mama approved topping ideas (remember, which toppings and sides [and their quantities] you select to go along with this chicken taco can alter it from its FP [Fuel Pull] origin to either an E or an S [Satisfying] or even a Crossover): cheese, lime juice, sour cream, onions, fresh chopped cilantro, lettuce, rice, beans, salsa, green chili, tomatoes, queso, homemade bacon bits, shredded radishes, and extra seasoning (such as paprika or red pepper flakes).
