Shel's Tex Mex Dinner

Shelley King-Steimer
4 servings
Intermediate

This recipe was a total mishap but it turns out to be one of my husband's favorites!! A couple of weeks ago we strayed from the menu because we were so wanting Chicken and Noodles. So I put a split chicken in the crock pot in 2.5 cups of water and cooked it all night on low!! It smelled so good!! The next morning I was up shredding and picking the bones out of the chicken! That is when the phone rang and we received a dinner invitation we could not refuse! So I put a Ziploc bag of shredded chicken in the frig!! The next day, I wanted to make sure I used the chicken...Shel's Accidental Tex Mex Dinner was born and it is so so EASY!!!
