I’m a huge fan of pulled pork tacos – my favorite recipe so far being Food Network’s pork tacos (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/slow-cooker-pork-tacos-recipe.html), but those nachos look fantastic. And I can’t wait to see how my own barbacoa turns out!
As a made-from-scratch kind of girl, though, I’m a little disappointed in how many pre-made spice packets and sauces the tortilla soups called for, though. Got any recipes for homemade enchilada sauce?
I live on a pretty tight food budget, but I do so love my Chipotle! It’s great that I can make some of my favorite Chipotle dishes from home instead of constantly spending money at the restaurant.
I received a slow cooker when I moved into my apartment, and I wasn’t sure what to make in it other than stew in the wintertime. These are great ideas for the summer that expands my knowledge of traditional slow cooker uses. I’m also pleased that I don’t have to make everything from scratch.
