[BEAVERMAN]

Howdy boy's and girl's. we started talking about food in the what's everyone doing thread, figured I would start a recipe thread and pin it as an ongoing open thread for dinner recipes, I'll start, tonight is Pollo Verde Tacos, for you white bread midwestern folks that's Green Chicken Tacos, stupid easy to make;

Ingredients
1 to 2 lbs chicken, whatever you got
1 15 oz jar of medium green salsa
1 large onion
1T minced garlic
1/3 C lime juice (lemon will work too if thats all you got)
1/4 C chopped Cilantro

Brown chicken,  remove skin and set aside
dump all the rest in a crock pot and mix together
add chicken, cook on high for 4 hours, remove chicken and shred
stir back into liquid, cook another hour then serve,

This works well with leftover pork roast or chops

Bon Appetite!

Sounds like one of my favorite meals, cept'n you forgot a couple of ingredients:
1 yellow or red onion moderate chop
and cause I'm Italian, about 4 cloves of garlic, maybe 5 or 6

I have a little trouble getting all the Kielbasa into the pot, as I cannot help but nibble on a few slices as I am cutting it up.

Buon Appetito
