Here is a great easy and delicious meal perfect for ‘Back to Busy’ time!  It’s also a perfect thing to meal prep.  Since my kids were little I’ve been making taco chicken which is almost embarrassingly easy. Basically you combine chicken breast, taco seasoning, salsa and a little water in the slow cooker and cook it until you can shred it. Once you shred it you can use it many different ways.  You can make a container of this, park it in the fridge and let them use it however they want. It is great on pizza, with eggs, on top of mac & cheese, in a taco or quesadilla or on a sandwich. It’s delicious any way you eat it.  Today it’s getting wrapped up in a monster burrito along with some cilantro rice, black beans, tomato, avocado and cheese. Wrapped up and crisped in the cast iron and you have a burrito if your dreams

1 pkg taco seasoning (or 3 tbls of homemade taco seasoning… my recipe is below)

In a slow cooker add chicken and coat evenly with the taco seasoning. Pour the salsa and water over and cook on high 
seasoning for 3-3 1/2 hours or until you can easily shred it with 2 forks. Shred the chicken and toss it with the juices.

Combine the rice, water, olive oil in a pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes. 
Uncover, fluff with a fork, then add the garlic, scallions and zest, juice, cilantro and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning
