3 crock pot chicken tacos sitting in a newspaper lined box. There is a small black ramekin dish filled with guacamole next to the tacos inside of the box. Each taco is stuffed with chicken, red cabbage, cheese and cilantro. There is a half a lime next to the guac too and leftover grated cheese in a bowl next to the taco box.
