May 5, 2022

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

My family absolutely loves the Crock Pot Fiesta Chicken recipe that I posted yesterday. Their favorite way to eat them is in a crispy burrito with cheese. And then smothered in a warm queso. Can you blame them? What could be better than that? Here's how I make them...
