I like to use a skirt steak or flank steak for my street tacos, but you could also use chicken, pork, or even shrimp.

This Crock-Pot Mexican Pork Stew Recipe is full of flavor, and the pork is so tender it melts in your mouth.
The dish is not difficult to make, and the texture is amazing.
I like to serve this dish on special occasions, like when we have company for dinner.
It’s also great for a weekday meal, because it’s so easy to prepare.
You can add other ingredients to the stew, like carrots or potatoes, and they will absorb all the delicious flavors.
For a twist on this dish, you can try using pork tenderloin instead of pork shoulder.
The tenderloin will cook faster, so you’ll need to adjust the cooking time.
But it’s worth it, because the tenderloin is so juicy and flavorful.
Slow Cooker Chicken Mole
Chicken mole is known for being a rich, flavorful dish, and this slow cooker version does not disappoint.
The chicken comes out tender and juicy, and the mole sauce is packed with complex flavor.
While the dish does take some time to prepare, it is well worth the effort.
I like to serve chicken mole on special occasions, or when I have guests over for dinner.
It pairs well with rice and beans, and a simple green salad.
You can also add other ingredients to the dish, such as chopped onions or garlic, to give it more depth of flavor.
For a twist, you can try using different types of mole sauce.
Crock Pot Nacho Chicken Dip
If you love nachos, you’ll love this delicious nacho chicken dip!
It’s packed with flavor, and the chicken is so tender it practically melts in your mouth.
The best part is, it’s easy to make!
Just throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook.
I like to serve this dish at parties, or anytime I have company over.
It’s always a hit!
You can add other ingredients to the dip, like black beans, corn, or diced tomatoes.
Or, for a twist, try using ground turkey instead of chicken.
Slow Cooker Mexican Street Corn Casserole
Mexican street corn are often grilled or roasted, but this slow cooker casserole gives the dish a delicious twist.
The corn is cooked in a creamy cheese sauce, making it rich and flavorful.
While the dish is fairly easy to make, there are a few tips to follow to ensure the perfect texture.
- Firstly, be sure to cook the corn on high heat to get that slightly charred flavor.
- Secondly, add the corn to the cheese sauce gradually, stirring well between each addition. This will help to thicken the sauce and prevent the corn from becoming mushy.
- Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with other ingredients. I like to add a bit of diced jalapeno for a bit of heat, but you could also add diced green chilies or even crumbled bacon.
Serve this casserole on its own or with a side of rice and beans for a complete meal.
