Crockpot Southwest Chicken Nachos

Many people LOOOOVE using their crockpot. And I will admit that some days I love using my crockpot too. But for some reason almost every single crockpot recipe I try comes out looking not so good. Most of them taste good, but before I put the meal on my table I usually have to explain to my husband that this is “a crockpot meal”…they are easy and delicious but not always so pretty!

I received a fun package from Citizen Chef with a few of their sauces. I have the perfect recipe for their Pan Asian Orange Sauce that I will be posting soon but when I started making my crockpot southwest chicken I looked in my fridge and saw their Chipotle Adobo Sauce and decided to give it a try and boy was it just the thing that this recipe needed!!! The smokey flavor of the pepper and the hint of lime just made it perfect! My 5 year old son loved the sauce so much he just dug right in and ate it like salsa!
