We used to love to eat at a place called Cafe Rio.  We haven’t found any place that compares since we moved, so I had to resort to trying to come up with my own recipe so we could somewhat get a Cafe Rio fix.  This recipe is so easy to make because it’s basically a “dump and go” recipe.

Black Bean & Chicken burritos (slow cooker)

Ingredients:
1 taco/fajita seasoning packet
2 cans black beans, drained
2-3 chicken breasts
1 can green enchilada sauce

Place chicken breasts in bottom of the crockpot and then add remaining ingredients. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Shred chicken before serving and serve in tortillas. We add cheese, sour cream, etc. to the tortillas. We sometimes add rice (cooked rice to the mixture once we’re ready to serve, not in the crockpot!). This is also really good if you use beef instead of the chicken!

I like to make Cilantro lime rice to serve with this.  If I’m feeling really ambitious, I sometimes make the Creamy Tomatillo dressing, too!

My mornings are crazy, so I’m all about a recipe that cooks itself that requires 5 minutes or less of prep time.  This recipe for Chicken Lickin’ Good Porkchops is THAT recipe!  It’s yummy, too!  We usually serve it with corn and mashed potatoes as side items.

Ingredients:
6-8 lean pork chops, 1-inch thick
1/2 cup flour (omit if you don’t brown chops in skillet)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp oil (omit if you don’t brown chops in skillet)
1 10.5oz can chicken & rice soup

Dredge pork chops in mixture of flour, salt, dry mustard & garlic powder. Brown chops in oil in a large skillet. Place browned pork chops in crockpot. Add can of soup. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3 1/2 hours. If I don’t brown the chops, then I just toss the salt, dry mustard & garlic powder in the crockpot instead of dredging the chops.

*Note: When making this meal, I use a can of family size chicken & rice soup and drain off some of the broth – it keeps the meat tender and there is more of the chicken & rice mixture for everyone! If you don’t have time to brown the chops first in a skillet, I’ve also just dipped it into the flour mixture and put it straight into the slow cooker and it works fine that way, too.
