Salsa Verde Chicken Tacos and Skinny Margaritas


In honor of today I figured I would post a south of the border kinda meal :) Because it is Taco Tuesday I decided to do my salsa verde chicken tacos. They are SOOO flavorful yet so easy because all you have to do is put them in the crock pot and assemble them when finished. Easy peasy. 

Shopping List

Three boneless skinless chicken breasts
chicken stock
 salt and pepper
cumin
cayenne
smoked paprika
salsa verde
corn tortillas
shredded jack cheddar
cilantro
onions and bell pepper sliced

Procedure

six hours before you decide to eat ( or before you go to work) place your chicken in the crockpot with a few gluts of chicken stock to keep them moist. next sprinkle on a generous amount of S&P, and the rest of the spices. top with the verde sauce and cover on low for 6-7 hours. After the time is up you can shred the chicken and mix in all the spices..let sit for a few minutes while you prepare the veggies.  Slice your onion and place it in a pan on med-high heat with a few drizzles of olive oil and butter.  Add your peppers and cook until nice and caramelized..add a bit of seasoning to them as well. warm up the tacos and stuff with the veggie mix, chicken, and top with jack cheddar and garnish with cilantro. I know its ridiculously simple.. and SO yummy!!!!

 

Skinny Marg

in a martini shaker squeeze the juice of 6 limes, one orange, add two shots of patron silver or just a few glugs..we all know we don't measure our tequila!! Add a few squeezes of agave nectar and shake over ice. Serve and garnish with a lime wedge...so refreshing and light on the calories!
