Well I recently got married about 8 months ago (on Valentines!) and when we came home from the honeymoon I figured out that I didn't know how to cook! Thus started my journey in the kitchen. Slowly, and I do mean slowly, I learned to cook. Around December I found myself with a lot of extra time and so I cooked, and baked, doused myself (and the floor, and my clothes, and my husband) in flour and did TONS of research!
And NOW I am here to share my journey with YOU! As I've been talking to people around me, I've learned that I'm not the only one who didn't know how to cook when they got married. Turns out, its pretty common! So I am here to teach you brand new beginners how to do this thing called "cooking". Every couple days I will post what's going on in my life, new recipes, and fun adventures I'm going through! Please join me for the ride!
Without further ado... our first recipe!
Crock-pot Tacos!
I love this recipe! Its SO easy and tastes SO good.
I love frozen chicken. It is my friend. All I do is take some frozen chicken, put it in my crockpot on LOW for 6 hours with my olive oil and some spices, and a little bit of water and WALLA!
For tortillas I love Costco's uncooked flour tortillas. They actually taste like I made them myself...without me actually having to make them myself! They are also thinner than a lot of tortillas. My husband loves these too. They also provided a nice background for me to learn how to spice chicken.
Crockpot Tacos
Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 6 hours
Ingredients:
- Chicken Breasts 4-6 (Or Chicken Tenders)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/3 c. Water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp chill powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt)
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- Any crunchy vegetables you want on your tacos (carrots, onion, etc.)
- 10-12 uncooked flour tortillas (Or normal tortillas)
(These spices are just what I found that I love. You can easily mix them up.)
Directions:
1. Put the FROZEN chicken breasts (or tenders) into the crock-pot.
2. Drizzle chicken with water and olive oil. Make sure all of the chicken gets some.
3. Sprinkle the spices on with your fingers (Wash them first!). This helps make sure the chicken isn't too heavily coated with spice in one area.
4. Add the vegetables around the seasoned meat.
5. Set the crock-pot to low for 6 hours and walk away. (Cue Kelly Clarkson)
6. When the chicken is almost done, get the pan out and cook up your tortillas.
7. When the timer goes off, shred the chicken with some forks, put it on your tacos with sour cream, veggies, or whatever you like and ENJOY!
