Making Mexican food in my CrockPot


I love burritos and soft tacos and decided to experiment by making taco filling in my CrockPot.  This was made with  4 chicken breasts, one sliced onion, 1 cup salsa, 2 tablespoons vinegar, one teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce. Place the the onions in the CrockPot, arrange chicken breasts on top. Mix together sauce ingredients and pour over the chicken;  place clean dish towel over CrockPot to absorb moisture, place cover over dishtowel. Cook on low for about six hours then shred the chicken with two forks. Enjoy with a side of black beans and rice and resist the urge to charge your dinner guests $16.95. Ole'!
