Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos & Spanish Rice

I am trying out some new things with my crock pot so I can have some meals ready in the evening when we get home from work. While not completely done in a crock pot you could have this meal completely ready in about 45min!
The food presentation is pretty bland and if I had thought about it sooner I would have grabbed some lime and cilantro to brighten it up a bit!


Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos

2-3 lbs Boneless skinless chicken breasts
15oz can Enchilada sauce
Place these items in crockpot either 8hr low or 6hr high and leave alone.

Flour or Corn taco size tortillas
Taco toppings:
Sour cream
Shredded Cheese
Lettuce
Salsa
Anything else you like!

Spanish Rice

I have an rss feed to Simply Recipes this has got to be my most favorite site for food! No need to mess with anything when it's already perfect!

While the rice is cooking I take the lid off of the crock pot, shred the chicken with 2 forks and leave the lid off for about the last hour of the chicken cooking.

When rice is completed assemble tacos and serve with rice and refried beans! Enjoy!
