My newest addition to my crockpot recipe arsenal is Chicken Tortilla Soup. A little bit ago, the boyfriend and I headed out to a friend's house to watch some college football (Go Griz!) and they had cooked chicken tortilla soup. Now, I know, I've apparently been living under a rock, but this was the first time I had had it. I was instantly obsessed, so good!
I immediately got the recipe:
1 - 4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 - 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
3 - 1 package fajita seasoning
4 - 1 jar salsa
5 - 1 can creamed corn
6 - 1 can mexicorn, drained (I couldn't find mexicorn, so I used fiesta corn, doesn't really matter)
7 - 1 can cream of chicken
8 - 1 small carton half & half
Combine all ingredients in the crockpot and stir, cook on low for 4-5 hours. Serve over tortilla chips with sour cream.
Now, the day we had it, they had just mixed everything up on the stove, but the recipe called for it to be used in the crock pot. I made a few modifications to make it so that it could cook for longer. When I make crockpot meals, I start it when I leave and it cooks for about 8 hours before I'm home again. What I did to make this work;
1 - Started with frozen uncooked chicken
2 - Added just a bit (probably half a can) of chicken broth to everything else.
Cooked it all on low while I was at work and when I came home, instant dinner! Yum! Just add some sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips!
What are your favorite slow cooker recipes!? Please share, I'm always looking for new ones!!
