Slow Cooker Cilantro-Lime Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

My husband, Myron, and I met midway through my aerospace engineering degree at MIT. Myron was a rocket propulsion engineer while I was completing an internship. Shortly after graduation we married. Before we could blink, Myron Jr. was on the way, and I craved Mexican food. Myron was working crazy shifts, so I started making a lot of slow cooker recipes. The one for cilantro-lime chicken tacos was a snap. Today, Myron, Myron Jr. and I all look forward to taco night.
