But now she is working full time and has a busy social calendar, so if dinner is going to happen, it&#8217;s up to me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<p>After I had a short pity party for myself, I pulled out my trusty old crock pot: the one that got me through the early years of homeschooling. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I love this crock pot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once I saw it, I actually got excited about preparing dinner again. And I happened to run across a friend's pin on Pinterest (thanks, Sue!) featuring chicken tacos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Crockpot Chicken Tacos<\/h2>\r\n<p>It's really simple, and calls for just three ingredients:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 1.75 pounds)<\/li>\r\n    <li>A jar of salsa (I used a 16oz jar of Newman's Own)<\/li>\r\n    <li>A packet of taco seasoning (I used Ortega)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>You can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/completerecipes.com\/3-Ingredient-Crockpot-Chicken-Salsa-Tacos.html?back_url=.%2F\" title=\"undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">original recipe here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" title=\"My crock pot\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/P1000963-705x470.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>It honestly took less than five minutes to put the ingredients in the crock pot, give it a stir, and turn the dial to low. I got it started at 7:00 this morning, and when I came home tonight, there was delicious chicken taco filling waiting. A quick stir with a fork, and the chicken shredded perfectly. <\/p>\r\n\t\r\n\t<p>We had friends over, and we all built our own tacos, adding our favorite combination of sour cream, lettuce, avocado, and cheese.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" title=\"Chicken tacos\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/P1000955-705x470.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>My son announced that he could eat this for dinner every night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, what do you do when you know you won't have time to make dinner?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you do when there\u2019s no time to make dinner?
