Come home to a creamy, delicious dinner that the whole family will enjoy!

Jalapeno poppers meet the ever-favorite chicken taquito in our Slow Cooker Jalapeno Taquito Pie! We’ve used low-fat cheeses, jalapenos, spices, and whole wheat tortillas to preserve the creamy, cheesy, textures and the spicy flavors without loading the dish down with fat and empty calories. Once you whip up the filling, all you have to do is layer it with the tortillas in your slow cooker. Start it in the morning, and come home to a creamy, delicious dinner that the whole family will enjoy!

This taquito pie is a meal in and of itself, but it would also go well with Skinny Mexican Rice and Clean Eating Mexican Corn on the Cob for a complete Tex-Mex experience!
