Sometimes there is literally no time to cook dinner and that’s when we are happy to hand things over to our other set of hands in the kitchen — the Crock-pot. It might not be the most gourmet kitchen appliance, but it gets the job done and we’ve made some seriously delicious meals with it. Don’t knock it, until you try it! This absolutely mouthwatering recipe for Mini Shredded Chicken Tacos is one of our many faves. It couldn’t be easier to execute! You put the ingredients in the Crock-pot and walk away. And who doesn’t love coming home to a cooked meal? It’s almost like having a private chef…except someone will still need to chop the veggies!
