This recipe is perfect for busy days. You just dump everything in the slow cooker and let it work. We always customize the recipe with things like canned chipotle peppers in adobo or homemade smoked spicy pepper powder.
Here is a new type of tortilla brand I tried. They are much thicker and softer than the average tortilla at the store. To make the tortillas plyable I put a damp paper towel on top and microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Instructions
- Add all ingredients minus the lime juice to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
