SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN AND BEAN TACOS
Feed your crowd without any extra fuss, that's the beauty of this recipe. With its easy dump-and-go method and all-day cook time, it's one of our favorite ways to get ahead when hosting. Letting the chicken cook all day ensures it turns out tender and makes it easy to shred. Even better, it gives you time to focus on other things, like making a delicious dessert! Because this meal is so hearty-thanks to the addition of beans-you really don't need sides. Instead, pick up your favorite taco fixings from the grocery store. You can never go wrong with guacamole, fresh limes and cheese.
