SLOW COOKER ENCHILADA QUINOA RECIPE
Hi. My name is Jennifer. And I LOVE Mexican food.
But, if you’ve been reading this blog for any amount of time, you already knew that. 😉
We were just in Chicago a week ago and the Air BnB we were staying at was literally right around the corner from a Mexican restaurant and honestly nothing makes me happier.
This Mexican restaurant had chips, salsa, margs, AND Teddy could come.
Like.
How perfect is that?
BUT.
We’re not in Chicago anymore, so while it may be goodbye to THAT particular Mexican restaurant, lucky for me, I can have Mexican any time any where thanks to this Slow Cooker Enchilada Quinoa Recipe.
🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
Also lucky for me, it’s super easy, super healthy, and oh yeah, super, SUPER delish.
