salsa chicken tacos & mexican corn

we had such a great dinner a few days ago that was so easy i just had to share!

[actually michael cooked this whole dinner himself, but he vouched for how easy it was! i figure the meal planner/recipe finder can still take some credit, right??]

crockpot salsa chicken (original recipe from recipe-diaries.com)

3 frozen chicken breasts
1 16-oz jar salsa
1 package taco seasoning

1. dump everything in the crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
2. shred.
3. (yep, that's it!)

we then took the shredded chicken and put it in hard taco shells with some cheese and jalapenos to make some pretty awesome tacos!

mexican corn (original recipe from iwashyoudry.com)

3 ears of corn, shucked and cleaned
1/2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. sour cream (we used greek yogurt instead)
1/4 cup shredded parmesan
1/2 tsp. chili powder
salt & pepper

1. heat grill over medium heat and spray rack with non-stick cooking spray.
2. grill corn, turning frequently, until slightly browned and heated through (roughly 10 minutes).
3. meanwhile, combine mayo and sour cream/greek yogurt in a small bowl.
4. in a separate bowl, combine chili powder, salt and pepper.
5. slather hot grilled corn with mayo mixture, then sprinkle on the chili powder mix. coat in parmesan cheese.

[you can top with cilantro if you like, but we're not huge fans!]
