One of my favorite tools in the kitchen is my slow cooker. There is no better feeling after a long day to coming home to dinner almost done! Using my crock pot on busy days helps eliminate any temptation to eat out as well. And eating at home is generally great for your budget!

This recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos is a tried and true favorite at our house! It only uses 4 ingredients (plus toppings). This recipe is a great source of lean protein, calcium and vitamin C. You can also use whole grain tortillas for added fiber. Give the recipe a try and enjoy your dinner being hot and ready at 5pm!
