    Slow Cooker Beef Enchilada Soup in green bowl with tortilla strips and lime slices As you can likely tell from the massive number of recipes on my blog revolving around Mexican flavors, it's one of my favorite way to cook and eat. But let's be honest. Many of the dishes can be pretty heavy with cheese and tortillas. Not to mention adding adding on lots of topping like sour cream and guac. Well, this will give you all the flavors of eating enchiladas in a lightened up version that won't send you into a post dinner couch potato food coma!

    Slow Cooker Beef Enchilada Soup in green bowl with lime slicesThese kinds of meals are incredibly tricky at my house. If you've read any of my posts then chances are you've heard me mention my daughter's aversion to eating anything red. I have no idea. She did give this a valiant effort. The rest of us took up the slack!

    Slow Cooker Beef Enchilada Soup in green bowl with lime slicesI basically took one of the weirdo concoctions that I would normally slather between two thick layers of flour tortillas and top with piles of cheese and instead added them to the crock with some beef broth.

Vary it up with any veggies and/or topping you like and you have a meal customized to your family!

      This was very good, I made it on the stove top and simmered it for about an hour. I added a can of black beans drained, topped it with avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of Mexican cheese blend and fresh lime juice! Excellent!
