If you're lucky to have some remaining HoneyBells from winter, we have the perfect recipe for you! It can be easily swapped out with any seasonal citrus of your choosing. Recipe created by Jessica Merchant, blogger of How Sweet It Is.

Do you know what I love about these chicken tacos? They don't take all day in the slow cooker. If you need to leave it for 8 hours? Totally fine. It will be delicious. But it can also be done in about 3 or 4 hours on the high setting in your slow cooker on a Saturday morning for some delicious weekend tacos - or easy weeknight dinner! n the slow cooker, you can switch up the flavors with whichever salsa you like. I used the most delicious black bean and corn salsa (so good!), but you can try pineapple for a fruity twist that would also work perfectly with the citrus avocado salsa. Speaking of, this citrus avocado salsa will be tough to stay away from. I practically want to call it an avocado citrus salad, because I kept eating it straight out of the bowl. It's really fabulous on top of the tacos, it adds a creamy, tangy sweetness to the slightly spicy, warm chicken. The best of both worlds, in my opinion.
