I'm having an affair. What’s that? An affair you say? It’s not nearly as titillating…my current love is my slow cooker. Steamy stuff, I know. <br /> <br />My slow cooker has been sitting, completely ignored and dusty in the back of the hallway closet. He burned me not quite a decade ago. I was making spaghetti and meatballs and thought this was slow-cooker perfection. What happened was a way too metallic-tasting sauce. Logically, I knew it was the temperature that did it (too high). But in the heat of the moment I blamed the slow cooker and banished him from the kitchen. A bit petulant? Yes. Can I hold a grudge? It would appear. <br /> <br />The Enchilada Soup in The Skinnytaste Cookbook inspired me to create this little recipe. It also inspired me to dust off the slow cooker. This tastes like an awesome mix of enchiladas and chili and tortilla soup…three of my favorite things. I call it ‘White-Girl Mexican’ because this is about as authentic to Mexico as the Huaraches I wore in college. Definitely not ‘Hecho en Mexico’. More hecho en California. It’s perfect for those of us viviente en California that are pretending it’s cold outside.
