Slow Cooker Spicy Chicken Tacos

Slow cooker spicy chicken mixed with avocado, jalapeños, cilantro, and a dollop of greek yogurt in a soft tortilla.

Welcome guys and gals!

I don’t know about you but lately I have only wanted to make meals that start with SLOW COOKER and end with DELICIOUS!! That’s why I am all about these SLOW COOKER SPICY CHICKEN TACOS!! Talk about yum in a tortilla.

So, after I made these my husband was like, “Why two tortillas?” At the time all I could give him was I dunno everyone is doing it!! Haha! But after a little research on street tacos, it seems sometimes that inner tortilla can break so why not have a backup? There ya go! However, with these reasonably stuffed soft tacos we didn’t have that issue so one will suffice. Yet, I kinda liked the photograph with two so now you know the daily struggles in my life.

I completely love that these tacos are a cinch to prepare. They are full of healthy ingredients and it’s not pictured in my pics but I can not even bear to eat a taco without my favorite salsa. So if you feel the same about your tacos then totally do that!

For some reason, my kids don’t appreciate the whole taco thing quite yet? I don’t even know. How? Otherwise, we would eat tacos like every Friday not even joking. Come to think before we had kids we made tacos all of the time. It was a big ‘ol taco bar kind of thing and it was awesome.

These slow cooker spicy chicken tacos are life!

This is meal 3 of my recent meal plan and guys, I’m so excited for these!! As of right now, I am planning to post one meal plan per month but further down the road I will like to do more per month.

So these delicious tacos aside, how ’bout those Olympics lately?!! So fun to watch! I don’t know about you but I always thought I enjoyed the Summer Olympics more but not this time. I am loving these Winter Olympics. And how awesome that Tieghan Gerard’s (FAV FOOD BLOGGER!) brother Red won GOLD!! So fun!! I also have to say I will always LOVE the ladies’ ice skating…and maybe that’s what I want to do when I grow up!

So get those slow cookers going, and enjoy some fantastic chicken tacos this evening just in time to watch more of the Olympics!! Sounds perfect to me!!
