SLOW-COOKER PARTY BEEF TACOS
Let your slow cooker bring the party with these layered beef tacos! We took everyone's favorite layered taco dip and thought: what if we put it on tacos? And with make-ahead instructions, it's safe to say this idea was genius. Your slow cooker keeps the seasoned beef mixture warm, so guests can fill tacos themselves without you running back and forth from the kitchen. Layer your 13x9 with lettuce, roasted corn, red bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, avocados, salsa and cheese, and guests will be able to add all their toppings in one go! Once everyone fills their Old El Paso™ Stand 'N Stuff™ taco shells, the party can officially begin!

This is a quick, throw together slow cooker soup with a Mexican flair. Teenagers love it. Serve topped with corn chips, shredded Cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Make sure you adjust the amount of chile peppers if you're sensitive about spicy foods.

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TACOS
So I heard of people making salsa chicken and I thought I would give it a try but add a few of my own twists to it. My whole family, even the 2-year-old, loved the tacos and we ate the leftovers at our very next meal. After the mixture is cooked, fill flour tortillas with it (hard shells are great, too), add shredded Cheddar cheese on the top, and shredded lettuce.
