I call this a Mexican Chicken Stew because that's how I like to eat it, right out of the slow cooker. But the kids like it on tortilla chips and it's also really good wrapped in a flour tortilla like a burrito or even a taco. This Mexican Chicken Stew Recipe is literally a layer and cook in the slow cooker meal.
