Title: Crockpot Tacos or Burritos
Categories: Mexican, Crockpot
Yield: 8 Servings

8 Boneless skinless chicken
-breast halves -OR-
3 lb Sirloin, stew beef, or
-whatever is lean and on
-sale
1 pk Taco seasoning mix
Water to cover
Cheddar cheese; shredded
Sour cream
Refried beans
Sliced black olives
Sliced green onions
Chopped fresh tomatoes
Salsa
Shredded lettuce
Sliced jalapenos
Tortillas, corn or flour

Leave meat in whole pieces; you may even put it in frozen. In the morning,
put the meat into the crockpot, add taco seasoning mix, and water. Plug it
in and turn it on simmer according to manufacturer's directions. If you
have time in the morning, shred the cheese and lettuce and chop the
tomatoes and store in ziplock or Rubbermaid containers in the refrigerator.

When meat is cooked, remove with slotted spoon to a platter and allow to
cool enough to handle. Place chicken breasts or beef on cutting board, and
using a fork, shred the meat, while discarding any pieces of fat, etc, that
you find. Return shredded meat to crockpot. Warm refried beans in small
sauce pan or microwave. Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in the oven. Put
remaining ingredients out in dishes on table (or counter) and holler
"DINNER!!!" very loudly. The diners can put together their own soft tacos
or burritos with the ingredients they like best.

NOTES : You probably won't see this done on a fancy cooking show, but this
is a really easy dinner to make that my family really enjoys, and there are

always leftovers for easy after-school grazing the next day, or even

another meal.
