Easiest (and Yummiest) Dinner Ever

Crock Pot Shredded Fajitas

2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion
1 pepper
1 can of black beans
1 jar of Global Warming Japanese salsa
6 whole wheat tortillas
shredded cheese (we go cheddar most of the time)
avocado or guacomole (optional)

1.  Slice onion and pepper.
2.  Put chicken, onion, pepper, black beans, and 1/2 jar of salsa in crock pot on low for 10 hours
3.  Just before dinner time use two forks to shred the very soft chicken
4.  Use slotted spoon to serve onto tortillas
5.  Add cheese and avocado or guac
6.  Enjoy

I feel like the salsa you cook in makes a huge difference to the flavor of the chicken.  The Japanese salsa has a very unusual flavor and is just magnificent.  I also make this as a freezer meal with the other half of the jar of salsa.  Then I can just thaw the bag and throw it in the crock pot.

Disclaimer:  The kiddo is a deconstructionist and doesn't eat assembled fajitas, tacos, sandwiches, etc.  I serve her the contents with a fork, fresh peppers, and a little pile of cheese.
