With so many savvy blogs and talented food bloggers out there it is not difficult to find great recipes. Where do you find most of your favorite ones? If I want to make something with, say…cauliflower – I search Pinterest for a new recipe or to see what flavors combine well together in order to come up with something new. This time I lucked out of the search and this beautiful Crockpot Chicken Taco Chili recipe was sent to me by my mom. She got it from one of her friends so I am not sure where it originated but I love how simple crockpot meals are!
I made this using ingredients I had on hand. Instead of using a can of diced tomatoes with green chili’s, I used 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 small can of diced green chilies. For the cream cheese I had artichoke jalapeno flavored from Costco in the fridge so I just used that instead of plain. I know you will love this Crockpot Chicken Taco Chili recipe! If you are vegetarian, substitute the chicken for tofu. I like to eat it as chili with a side of tortilla chips and the boys turned theirs into chili nachos.
