Everyone has a favorite Mexican dish! Let's face it, the food that comes out of Mexico is pretty fantastic! A lot of Mexican cuisine is light and fresh tasting, but you're also in luck if you're a spice-lovin' carnivore!

Crockpots are just brilliant for fatty, tougher cuts of meat. The loooong, slow heat breaks down all of those seams of tasty fat, basting the meat and rendering it fork-tender and packed with flavor. It's also perfect in lots of Mexican recipes to ensure that the meat is fully infused with all of those amazing flavors!
