    Set it and Forget It

    While not technically a thirty minute meal, I feel like slow cooker meals are really nice to have on a meal rotation. 

    In college and when I was working full time before kids I loved them because I could set all the meat I wanted in the slow cooker then freeze the leftovers for quick and easy meals. 

    Now after having a family I love it because it takes minutes of my time to prep the day of or night before and dinner is ready when I get home from work. 

    It’s also soooo much healthier to prep your own meat! The frozen diced chicken breasts often contain a lot of sodium! 

    Ingredients

    Let’s get started! You will need: 

    • Chicken breasts
    • A packet of ranch dressing 
    • A packet of taco seasoning
    • Water
    • Tortillas–corn or flour

    Then the fun part! Let’s add your choice of different toppings! Sometimes I go big with lot’s of toppings and sometimes I just add a little bit of cheese and lettuce and call it good! Here are some ideas:

    • Lettuce
    • Diced tomatoes
    • Diced avocado
    • Ranch dressing
    • Cheese
    • Cilantro
    • Sour cream
    • Cole slaw
