Empty 1 envelope of taco seasoning, 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts & a jar of salsa in the crockpot, and cook on high(4-6 hrs.) or low(6-8 hrs.) Should be able to shred with a fork. Place meat mixture in tortillas(family) or ice burg lettuce(for you, low carb!) and top with your favorite toppings! So YUMMY !! we eat this once a week !!!!
~ LOW CARB CHILI
14 1/2 ounces canned
tomatoes -- Hunts choice cut diced tomatoes
8 ounces tomato sauce -- Hunts
14 ounces beef broth -- Swanson's
14 ounces water
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 large yellow onion -- diced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne -- to taste pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt -- add more later if needed
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground oregano -- or blended Italian seasoning
15 ounces black soybeans -- drained and rinsed, optional
How To Prepare: Preparation: In a large kettle, brown ground beef and onions, breaking up well, until cooked through. Drain all fat. Add spices and continue to cook and stir for a few minutes, then add the remaining ingredients. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes or until reduced slightly. Add beans, if using, in the last 10 minutes, just long enough to heat through. Black soy beans have a softer texture than pinto beans and will break down faster if cooked too long. Add water or more broth if necessary - sometimes it cooks down faster than anticipated.
Serve hot.

This starts out looking quite large when you press the meat into the pan, but it shrinks quite a bit. What I thought would make 6 servings, turned out to be closer to 4 servings. With all the meat and cheese, though, it is pretty filling. I might try using half Italian sausage and half ground beef sometime.
