I have been eyeballing this recipe from Weelicious for quite some time! Of course, anything in the crock pot is right up my alley because I can just throw it in and go. And anything that is Mexican is great for my husband so this was the perfect combination. I am happy to report that even the kids gobbled this up. I was worried that it may be to spicy for Davis but he loved it! Score! This is also another great way to sneak in veggies if that is an issue in your household.
Again, the original recipe came from Weelicious which is a must see site if you have never been. This is just my take on her original which leaves out a few items and steps.
