Mexican Chicken recipe for taco’s and burritos

1 lb chicken breast (4 )

1 pkg taco seasoning mix

let this go in the crock-pot for 4-5 hours. Stir with a fork to shred.

You can use this meat in soft shelled tacos with lettuce and tomatoes and salsa

Mexican Burritos

Take the left over meat and roll that and the left over rice and cheese into the soft taco shells and put them in a pan

cover with enchilada sauce and cheese. Put it in your freezer or fridge depending on when you will be eating it.

Bake on 350 for about 1/2 hour if thawed about 1 hour if frozen

Crock Pot Lasagna

Yep, you can make lasagna in the crock pot! Love this during the summer when the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven and escalate the temperature inside my already super hot house.

This recipe is from Relief Society.

Lasagna in the Crockpot

-8 lasagna noodles, uncooked

-1 lb ground beef, turkey whatever

-1 tsp italian seasoning ( I just put as much in as I feel like)

-28 oz jar spaghetti sauce

-1/3 cup water

-15 oz cottage cheese

-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I throw in a bit of parmesan also)

Grease your slow cooker. Break noodles and place half in the bottom. Brown meat and drain. Stir italian seasoning into meat. Spread half of meat over noodles. Layer half of sauce and water, half of cottage cheese, and half of shredded cheese over meat. Repeat layers. Cook on low for 5 hours.
