HELLO YOU FABULOUS FOODIES! I’m back this week with a special themed food night!
So I love Mexican cuisine more than any other foods out there, and I thought with the long weekend coming up, why not make a fiesta night for you and your friends? Today I’ll teach you how to make Slow-Cooker Chicken Fajitas, Jalapeno Popper Dip and My Classic Nachos!
Slow-Cooker Chicken Fajitas
Now these can be done however you like, with whatever you like, as long as you follow a few ground rules. For mine, I used two chicken breasts (I was only cooking for myself), red and yellow peppers, red onion, green onion, mushrooms and tomatoes! To make them here is what I did:
1. Put some olive oil at the bottom of the crock pot
2. Cut all the veggies into big pieces and put only half on top of the oil
3. Seasoned the veggies with salt, pepper, fajita seasoning and chili powder
4. Placed the chicken breasts over the veggies
5. Seasoned it the same as the veggies!
6. Put the rest of the veggies on top of the chicken
7. Season again
8. Cook on high for 4-6 hours
Once the chicken and veggies are cooked, you will want to take two forks and pull apart the chicken so it becomes shredded! After that, just let it sit in the crock pot for another 5 minutes!
Jalapeno Popper Dip
This dip is a crowd favourite for those people who like something with a little kick in it! Also really easy to make with only 6 ingredients and not a lot of cook time. I took my initial inspiration from this recipe by tasteofhome.com: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/jalapeno-popper-dip.
You will need:
- 2 packages of cream cheese
- 1 cup of mayonnaise (whatever brand, it doesn’t matter)
- Chopped green chilies (amount depends on how much heat you desire)
- Chopped jalapeno peppers (^^)
- 1 cups of Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of any other cheese of your choice (I use cheddar)
- Olive oil!
So now what you want to do is mix up everything but the Parmesan cheese! Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, throw the Parmesan cheese on top and bake for another 10 minutes!
You can customize both these recipes to your tastes and the amount of people you are feeding! (No shame if you eat the entire things yourself, because I know I do).
Happy eating!! 🙂
