The crockpot is in full force this fall as I’m whipping up some cozy meals to accompany our busy life. We love tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, enchiladas… you get the picture…

Southwest chicken bowls are probably the new favorite in this house. Dump all the ingredients in the crockpot (minus the rice) and let it all marinate! you could also use this as fajitas and put in a burrito. My husband literally puts everything in a burrito????

Let’s get started!
