Chicken and Spicy Bean Tacos

Chicken Crockpot Meal

Ingredients:

4 boneless chicken breast
1 can of Mexican style tomatoes
1 can of green chilies
1 can of red kidney beans or black beans
1 Tbs of Olive Oil or any other type of oil you like
12 corn tortillas - soft or hard

Rub for chicken:
2-3 Tbs of Olive oil or any other type of oil you like
1 Tbs of chili powder
3/4 tsp of Cumin
1 tsp of tumeric
1 tsp of fajita seasoning (optional)
1 tsp of mesquite seasoning (optional)
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
1/2 tsp of ground pepper
1/2 tsp of sweet ginger garlic (optional)
1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper (optional)

Rub the crock pot all over with the oil or you can spray it with your favorite oil spray.
Add in the crock pot Mexican style tomatoes, green chilies, and beans.
Rub the chicken breast with oil all over front and back.
Mix all the spices together and rub all over on both sides of the chicken breast - use generously so all of the chicken is coated.
Put the chicken breast in the crock pot with the tomato and bean mixture cooking on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is done. If you start with half frozen chicken make sure it is cooked all the way through.
Take the chicken when done and make thin or medium size slices. I use a slotted spoon to remove the bean and tomato mixture for serving so it is not too juicy for the filling.
Grill your soft tortillas in a small amount of hot oil or warm your hard shells prior to serving.
Fill the tortillas with both the chicken and mixture.
Top with sour cream, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives and/or hot sauce. Chances are you won't need any hot sauce because the flavor is out of this world!

Enjoy!!

Morning Strawberry Protein Shake

Garden Strawberries So, I like strawberries, and it is the season for all of us back yard growers to start picking! I downsized my plot of plants, but I still have some to pick periodically as they ripen. The local farms should be ready for the "you pick deals" from June - mid July now! There are quite a few growers in the PNW to choose from. A local favorite is the Biringer Farm , you can check out their website for more information. After, of course, the morning coffee, I will make my breakfast shake. It consists of one cup of unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk, or unsweetened oat milk. Normally when watching calories, I will opt for almond or coconut milk. I also like at times to mix all three to make one full cup! I will add one scoop of whey, my morning vitamin, and one cup of frozen strawberries. Sometimes I will add a frozen banana or frozen blueberries. My favorite is just using strawberries. I blend this for about a minute to make sure eve...
