Chicken Tacos

I don't know about you, but I love tacos and Mexican food in general!  Don't let this diet stop you from the things you love!  Just modify it a bit and this is TOTALLY DO-ABLE!  Here's a recipe for Chicken Tacos (or lean beef.  Try throwing a London Broil in the crock pot for the day with some onion and garlic! I've also put chicken breasts in the crock pot and shredded it to use as taco meat)  The lettuce leaves give you the crunch that you want and really, you can totally enjoy without the shell.  Add some of my yummy salsa  for great flavor!
