Chili Corn and Lime Chicken Tacos Recipe

 Meals are such fun times at our house. We actually sit down together. There have been times, even now, that meals are in shifts due to individual schedules because of work or school and sometimes church league ball or special needs ball games. Regardless, there is one item out of seven that I own that works perfectly when I have to have one of the three main meals during the day ready...my CrockPot! Perfect for this meal...even according to the original recipe...

 There were three things that made this meal a hit in addition to the chicken...warm pure corn tortillas which I used an iron skillet sprayed with cooking spray, the wonderful macaroni salad (recipe posted yesterday) served warm and the slaw (recipe coming up)...perfect...

The original recipe was found in the TasteofHome's light slow-cooker Recipe Cards magazine.

Here is the ingredients and the instructions which seems really good...

but...I wanted a bit more...
