Hello, Hello, Hello!
How are you on this fine Monday morning? I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I got back late last night from an unreal trip to NYC/Hamptons. Like unreal, unreal. Actually, can we just go back? I had a fantastic time catching up with my uncles, talking shop with some wonderful food bloggers, and of course, checking out the Hamptons scene! I must say the East Coast has it going on during summer!
Anyway, I’ve got a bunch of stuff to catch up on (hello never ending inbox!), but I wanted to ask you guys have you seen this new show called American Gods? UM, AMAZE-BALLS. I will probably butcher what the plot is about because really there are so many moving parts. BUT! All you really need to know is that Ian McShane is in it and is a complete badass, naturally.
Man….I feel like I am all over the place this morning. Maybe it’s the coffee? Or the fact that I’ve been up since 5:45 am thanks to some lovely jet lag. But before I forget let’s talk about these Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Tacos with Texas Caviar.
First, the slow cooker BBQ chicken is something that I make at least once a week because all you need are two ingredients: chick thighs and your favorite barbecue sauce. Throw these two gents into the slow cooker and let the magic unfold. I typically serve the chicken in a wrap, bun, or on top of salads. But the other day, I got wild hair and decided to add them to tacos!! Clearly, I should have been doing this ages ago because I think it’s my newest obsession.
Second, what really makes these tacos legit, legit is the Texas Caviar. Which is a mixture of corn, black beans, jalapeno, tomatoes, onion, and red wine vinegar. All tossed together and then piled-high on top of the barbecue chicken.
These Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Tacos with Texas Caviar are a great meal prep for a Sunday or easy to throw together for those upcoming backyard parties or picnics. Or for when you need a full belly watching American Gods. No seriously, consider yourself warned.
Now, back to the grind.
