Taco Seasoning: 2 T chili powder, 1 1/2 T cumin, 1 1/2 T paprika, 1 T onion powder, 1T garlic powder, 1/8 to 1/4 t cayenne pepper. (2 T of this will falvor 1 pound of beef, turkey, or chicken. - 2/1/09

Packaged Taco seasonings often have msg. Use ground cumin, coriander, and chili powder and sea salt or salt substitute. - 2/1/09

I used about 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken, but only one can of beans. (I skipped the Mexican beans.) Cooked it for 6 hours in slow cooker on low. It was fabulous! I'll eat it all week on rice, tortillas, or (as mentioned above) baked potatoes. Ended up as a chili or stew consistency. - 2/3/09

Made this over the weekend for supper and it was delicious! I've had the leftovers either on brown rice or a tortilla the past 3 days for lunch. My crockpot was already in use so cooked it on the stove on low for about 2 and a half hours and it turned out great. - 2/3/09

I made this and my family loved it even my 3 year old granddaughter. i didn't have the 7-8 hr it calls for to cook it so I cooked it for an hour on high and then turned it to low. I also used chili powder, cumin, oregano, onion powder and garlic salt instead of pkg seasoning mix. - 2/14/09

I didn't have any olives so just put in 2 cans of the green chilis. Since I am single, I packaged 5 other containers to portion it out. Ate it with brown rice and it absorbed the liquid and made a hearty meal - 2/1/09

Base recipe is great. Because my husband has HBP I always monitor salt content. Rinsed the canned beans & olives, LS tomatoes, used my own seasoning & added juice of 1 lime at the end to brighten the flavor. - 3/3/09

This recipe is fun to make. The juices come up to cook the pot and it is VERY tasty. It is also very rich, you won't be able to eat a lot, and you will feel full with a little, which is a good thing! - 2/3/09

This was very good. The recipe says to shred chicken and then add it back into the crock but to reduce the fat a little bit more, I strained the beans and veggies and added them to the chicken in a separate bowl. Also, instead of a can each of chilies and tomatoes, I used Rotel. EXCELLENT!! - 1/28/09

This recipe sounds wonderful, but has lots of sodium. I think when I make it, I'll substitute the taco seasoning with Mrs. Dash extra hot spices...this is a wonderful salt-free seasoning that's good on anything. Can't wait to try this. - 2/2/09

I used a can of pinto beans instead of the other 2 types since that was what I had and also replaced the 1 can of tomatoes and 1 can of chilies with 1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies.

I love this recipe because it's so quick to throw together and when it's done I've got at least four meals I can save for later. The only negative is the salt. Extremely high and too salty for my taste. I will try it next time with low sodium in mind and see how it is. - 2/24/09

I loved this...in fact, I will admit to eating, most likely, twice as much as I should have...! I used a spicy canned tomato mixture and I used jalepenos instead of the black olives (figured I could save some fat and add some heat). I love to throw stuff in the crock pot and hours later...enjoy! - 8/16/09
