This layered Southwestern meal just can't be beat. It gets its spicy flavor from green chilies, chili powder and cumin. Using a slow cooker liner inside of the cooker makes it easier to lift and remove the meal so it can be cut into individual wedges.—Judy Ragsdale, Queen City, Texas

Excellent re old...I added the Jack cheese in the meat mixture and used the shredded cheese on top of each layer. easier to bake in oven. but not for two hours

My family loved this recipe. Instead of the foil strips I used a crock pot liner. It made removal from the slow cooker very easy. I did not use the cumin-mainly because I did not have any. But I do like the taco seasoning packet suggestion. I'll try that next time.

My family is gluten and dairy intolerant so we eat it out of bowl. They love it! We make it at least twice a month...

This was a good recipe, but not fantastic. I added a layer of Spanish rice and then topped it with some Johnny's Jamaican Me Crazy sauce, a sweet and spicy hot sauce. With those additions it was great.

I put a bit of my own spin on this recipe by adding a bit of chipotle tabasco and Mrs. Dash southwest chipotle seasoning to heat it up a little and I used 50/50 hot and mild chili powder. I used part seasoned pinquito beans and part pinto beans and added about 1/2 cup tomato sauce. I increased ingredients by 1 and 1/2 times to increase servings and used six 8 inch soft taco flour tortillas layered on top of one another with the other ingredients per the recipe. Since I have a round 5 quart slow cooker, it worked wonderfully. I increased the cooking time to 3 and 1/4 hours to make up for the thickness of the 6 tortillas. It was a hit at a Super Bowl party and served 9-10 people. Excellent recipe!!!

I wasn't as pleased with this as other reviewers have been. My husband and I both thought that something was missing, and we tried to spice up the end result with sour cream, taco sauce and salsa, but nothing really helped it. If I made it again, I would use a taco seasoning packet instead of the cumin and chili powder.

I made this for dinner today and was very pleased with the results. I did however make a couple of changes. We don't like the diced tomatoes with green chilies so I substituted a can of diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions. Also, we are trying to add more whole grain to our diet so I used whole wheat tortillas rather than flour. Served it with chopped avocado, additional chopped fresh tomatoes and a small dollop of sour cream. Will definitely make again!
