Voting for the H-E-B Meal Maker challenge has officially begun!!!  If you don’t know what this challenge is about, click here.

This week’s feature ingredient is HEB Salsa.  I chose the Green Chile Tomatillo Salsa, because who can resist green chile anything?  Definitely not me.

I made these delicious crockpot Green Chile Salsa Chicken Tacos.  Who has made salsa chicken in a crockpot?  It is, hands down, the EASIEST meal to make and is so flavorful and delicious.

Our recipes for the challenge are supposed to be made in under 30 minutes, but the use of a crockpot was acceptable as long as prep time was under 30 minutes.  Annnnd let’s be honest, throwing 3 ingredients into the crock took a whole 5 seconds.

I can’t stress how easy to make these tacos were.  I threw the chicken in, and left it while I was at work.  Wow did my apartment smell amazing when I came home.  Plus, I had a healthy dose of protein for an entire week!

Top your tacos with avocado, tomatoes, sour cream, or whatever your heart desires.  The chicken stays tender with the slow cooking and the juices blend so well with the salsa.  The salsa wasn’t too spicy, so to add an extra kick, I would throw in a jalapeño or fresh green chile next time.
