Two Easy Make-Ahead Recipes for Jaisy

My friend Jaisy, wanted to easy, make-ahead recipes for when she and her kids come home. Here they are:

Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Take 4 chicken breasts and place in the crockpot with a package of taco seasoning, if the chicken is frozen you don't need to add too much water. If they are fresh, you can add about a 1/4 cup. Serve with soft or hard taco shells and garnish as you desire.

This next one is a bit tastier and Yummy! You can serve it over rice, noodles or in a tortilla with cheddar cheese and all the fixins!:

Easy Shredded Beef over Rice
Rub both sides of a 4 lb boneless top chuck roast with Fajita seasoning, and then sear on all sides in a frying pan with olive oil. Place in a crockpot with the following over it:
2-14 oz cans of Rotel tomatoes
2 cups of beef broth
1 can of green chilies.
Cover, and cook until the beef pulls apart with a fok easily. Shred with a fork and serve over rice with reserved liquid. You may want to skim some of the fat off the top of the liquid before serving.
