Chile Lime Chicken Tostadas in the slow cooker
I recently created this recipe for Chile Lime Chicken Tostadas. My family loves Mexican food and I am always looking for fun and new ways to cook it. I especially love to cook the meat for my Mexican meals in the slow cooker.
Now, even though I made tostadas with this meat, you can use it for whatever you like. I used leftover chicken for a taco salad and it was also fabulous. I think tacos would be another good use. This meat is tender with just a little heat and kick of lime. It is just the right amount of spice to make it family friendly.
