Good morning everyone! No school here today because of the primary. Katie is having a couple of friends over for a "fairy" day. We're doing fairy crafts and having a yummy sante fe chicken (now there's some hearty "fairy" food for you). I was going to make some little tea cakes and tiny sandwiches for fairy food, but I'm a single parent AGAIN this week so crockpot food was more my speed.
I thought I'd post the recipe in case anyone wants it.
Ingredients
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I throw them in completely frozen)
1/2-1 package taco seasoning (I buy this in bulk so I just sprinkle some on)
1 can corn (drained)
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1+ cup salsa
1 8oz. brick cream cheese
Throw the chicken in the crock pot along with the beans, corn, taco seasoning and salsa. Cook on high until the chicken is done (it's about 3-4 hours when I put it in from a frozen state so judge accordingly). When it's done take the chicken out and shred it. Cut the cream cheese into squares and throw in the crockpot (the first time I made it I had about a 1.5 inch block of velveeta left so I threw that in also and make it that way all the time now). Cook on low one more hour (I usually add a little more salsa at this point). Stir it all up and enjoy.
Here are some ways we enjoy it:
On tortilla chips
Rolled up in tortillas with sour cream and salsa on top.
I make a packet of spanish rice and put the chicken mixture and spanish rice in tortillas and cover with enchilada sauce. Sprinkle lightly with cheese and bake until heated through.
It's really yummy!
Have a great day everyone. I probably won't be back until late tonight.
Bought the ingredients this morning...I can't wait to make it! Now, if I could just figure out when we'll all be home at the same time to eat it!
