creating:crock pot chicken taco chili

Ok I know that this is the second recipe I had tried this week.  I got inspired!
I had the urge to try recipes that I had found on Pinterest, and this one jumped out to me and we REALLY like this one.  
Serve it with Trader Joe's corn bread and green salad and you have a winning meal!
