Grilled Lime Chicken

This chicken is a great for tacos or to top a salad! It's simple, & grilled. Grilled always equals awesome.

I got this recipe from Picky Palate:
Grilled Lime Chicken

This grilled chicken is a great alternative to the Crockpot Taco Chicken I make. This version doesn't use the package of taco seasoning, you make your own, which I really like. I'll usually make the seasoning ahead of time so it can marinate for awhile (a least an hour, but the longer the better).

The leftover chicken is great for salads, or chopped up and used on nachos or in quesadillas!

Baked Chicken Fajitas

I love these things. We actually haven't had them in awhile because I loved them so much I made them a lot and we got a little burnt out. But there is no denying their deliciousness :)

This is another recipe I got from Six Sisters Stuff:
Baked Chicken Fajitas

These go great with the Low Carb/High Fiber tortillas we like. Also, they reheat very well, these are one of the only dishes I will actually eat leftover! That's saying a lot...

Taco Soup

I love how easy this recipe is, and it makes a TON. It completely fills an entire gallon sized freezer bag. If you're only cooking for 2 like me, you may want to separate it into multiple bags. Another thing I like is that you can use whatever kind of meat you like. The recipe uses ground beef. We all know I don't eat ground beef (unless I'm making an exception for a delicious burger) so the first time I made this I used ground turkey. The second time I made it I used leftover Crockpot Taco Chicken and that was awesome!

This was another Six Sisters Stuff recipe I found on Pinterest:
Black Bean Taco Soup

Other than changing the meat, I also opted to get diced tomatoes instead of stewed. I used stewed tomatoes the first time I made this and the soup came out extremely thick, it was actually more like chili. It wasn't a terrible thing because it still tasted good but it was just really thick, and not really soupy. So the next time I made it I swapped the stewed tomatoes for the diced since they tend to have more juice in them, and I added some chicken stock also to thin it out. These changes made it more soupy and less chili-ish.

I crumbled up some tortilla chips to top it off which was really good. The first time I made it when it was in a more chili like state, I threw some shredded cheese on top and let it melt, so good!

I don't add the chicken stock until I'm putting it in the crock pot. By doing this, you can use the thicker version to make nachos or tacos (or the chili if you want). The more uses you have for the same recipe, the better it is in my opinion!

Crockpot Taco Chicken

This recipe is so easy... I feel like you can't even call it a recipe. It makes a lot, so after we're done eating I'll divide the leftovers between 2 quart sized bags and freeze for next time. Aside from tacos, I've used this leftover chicken for soup and chili, but it could be used for whatever you want! Quesadillas, enchiladas, chimi's, Mexican pizza, etc.

I found this recipe on Pinterest from a blog called Chocolate Therapy:
Crockpot Chicken Tacos

I told you it was easy. 6 chicken breasts, a jar of salsa, and a package of taco seasoning. You could make your own taco seasoning too if you'd like to reduce the sodium... but I don't for this because it takes away from the simplicity (unless you make it in batches and keep it on hand, which I don't do, but maybe one day when I have a bigger kitchen I will).

I throw it all into the crock pot in the morning, set it on low, go to work. When I come home from work all I have to do is take a couple of forks and shred the chicken, which I do right inside the crock pot. I stir it up to make sure it's all shredded and the sauce is evenly distributed, and put on the warm setting until were ready to eat.

Delicious chicken tacos with minimal effort from me... yes please! We use Low Carb/High Fiber Tortillas (only 50 calories each!) to keep the tacos low calorie. The topping options are endless: lettuce, pico, shredded cheese, taco sauce, guac, sour cream, etc. I usually do guac, lettuce, & pico. Mmm... probably going to have to have a taco night soon!
