Crock Pot Mexican Chicken Tostadas Recipe

That means our crock pot slow cooker is getting a big workout right now! Woohoo! More Crock Pot Recipes are coming your way. I recently made the goal of sharing a minimum of 1 new crockpot recipe every week until the end of the year.

I just love that I can start this crockpot chicken tostada recipe in the morning or at lunch and dinner is ready when we are. Plus the house smells so good while this is cooking!

Do you ever feel like patting yourself on the back for making a killer family meal and not stressing over standing at the oven? I feel like there should be some type of gold star award for making dinner and not heating the house up.

This would pair great with this Cilantro Lime Rice.

I also love making this Crock Pot Tequila Chicken Recipe in the summer. Pair it with a great margarita and it is perfect for dining outside and soaking up the evening summer weather.

You could also make this Crock Pot Cashew Chicken Recipe is you are looking for a totally different option. Chicken is just so versatile in the crockpot.

Oh wait you could also make this Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken Recipe! If you love chicken recipes check out these Sweet and Spicy Chicken Skewers perfect for summer barbecues! Can you tell I am all in for any recipe that doesn't use the stove right now and heat up the house?
