Comments
This recipe is from A Year of Slow Cooking. Slow cooker recipes tend to be 50⁄50 for me. For some things, the slow cooker is amazing. For others, not so much. Sadly this recipe fell into the “not so much” category. While this wasn’t bad, it didn’t seem very taco-y to us. It seems like it worked better as a dip the following day and we also thought it might work as an enchilada filling. But, regardless of those “it might works,” I doubt I’ll be making this again in the future.
I don’t know what it is about slow cookers. I’m pretty good at telling whether or not we’ll like a recipe just from reading it over, until you put a slow cooker into the equation!
