| CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN TAQUITOS |
I love cream cheese Chicken Taquitos is because you make filling of chicken in the crockpot. Walk in the door to the smell of chicken flavored cream filling this is heaven! Soon my kids wanted to know what was cooking for dinner.
I love almost everything about crockpot cooking. It's easy, the meat is always moist and tender, the house smells so good when you get home and clean up easily.
