FRUGAL MEAL FRIDAY: TACO DINNER DONE 2 WAYS! THE BEST CHICKEN TACOS EVER


Hey Friends! Today I'm sharing the 1st video in my new series Frugal Friday! Every other Friday, I'll be sharing a Frugal Meal, recipe, or treat. These videos will be geared toward all things affordable! Today's video is Crock Pot Chicken Tacos & Ground Turkey Tacos with a twist.

The Crock Pot Chicken Tacos is perfect for freezing, so you can make a bigger batch and have it for filling in a ton of different Mexican recipes. The fried corn tortilla shell really sets this meal apart and adds the best crunch and taste.

If you're looking for a quick weeknight meal, you have try the Turkey Tacos with a Twist. I personally prefer Ground Turkey over beef because it taste just as good without the greasiness ground beef can have. It's also super affordable. I love to get the Frozen Ground Turkey from Aldi, it's about $1.89 which I think is an awesome price. You can get it fresh for about $3.50. The rest of the ingredients are really affordable and can end up costing less than $5. Adding the Rotel Style Tomatoes to the normal tacos, amps it up a bit and adds a really nice flavor. I'll never make Tacos the normal old way again!

EASY & DELICIOUS CHICKEN BURRITO BOWL



Hey Friends! Did you see this What's For Dinner video? Well I shared a Chicken Burrito Bowl that's easy, delicious, inexpensive! You can add whatever ingredients you like or take away things you or your kids may not like! I love this chicken for regular tacos and quesadillas, so it can be used for more then just this recipe. Chicken, Cheese, Rice... I'm set! Let's get into the recipie and be sure to leave a comment if you have anything to add!



What You Will Need

The chicken is made is a Crock Pot, so you will need one of those

To make the chicken 
3 Large Chicken Breast
1 15.5oz of you favorite Salsa (I used mild, but I may use medium next time for a little spice)
1 packet Taco Seasoning (I've also used a fajita packet and it tasted just as good)

2 Cups White Rice
1 Can of Sweet Corn
1 Can Black Beans
Cheese
Lettuce 
Tortilla Chips (optional)

For the Chicken
In a crock pot add Chicken 
Sprinkle Taco Seasoning over top of chicken
Add the entire jar of salsa over top of chicken

Cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours

The chicken is done when you can easily get a fork through each piece

Remove chicken from the crock pot and shred it using 2 forks
Return the chicken back to the crock pot and mix up on that tasty goodness!

While your chicken is cooking
Cook your rice
Heat the black beans
Heat the corn

Once everything is done your going to layer you bowl, starting with the rice. 

Now Get Your Grub On!

I didn't add lettuce to ours but when I make it again I will . The lettuce will give its nice crunch, which mine didn't have

This also freezes well, so you can also make extra and have some for another night!
