It’s nice to serve these with Mexican rice and perhaps a salad. But in a pinch, chips and salsa will do. The night I took this photo was one of “those days” and I didn’t even bother to cut up lettuce and tomato. They were still yummy, though.

I have a slow cooker which I’ve had for many years but I am also loving my Instant Pot. Not only is it a pressure cooker but it can also be used as a slow cooker. The best part is that it also has a sauté feature so I can brown meat in it first then switch to slow cooker. That means one less pan to wash…always a good thing!
