What's for Dinner Tonight from Pinterest

Tonight I am cooking Cafe Rio Chicken from Pinterest and I can already tell you that I am in love with the smell that is filling our home and the ease of the recipe.  This dish was super easy to make, simply thaw out the amount of chicken I wanted to prepare in the fridge over night and then toss it in the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients and let the aroma fill the house while I dust and clean my living room.  Tonight just before dinner I will toss some shells into the oven to warm and chop up some lettuce, tomatoes and onions and warm up some re-fried beans and we will have ourselves a fun little chicken taco night.  Then just before I take the chicken out of the crockpot I will shred it with a fork, and Whala! I have Cafe Rio Chicken for my taco's.
