VERY easy, VERY tasty, VERY healthy for a vegetarian dish. I'll double next time for extras. The chips were great too! Most of the vegetables were from my garden. I used 1/2 c. canned corn (no salt added and a few pickled Jalapenos because I didn't have any Chipotle or Ancho sauce.

Spicy! Besides the spice it was pretty boring. Could have used some shredded chicken. . .

I was looking of a meat-free crock-pot recipe... found this and LOVED IT! I try to use organic ingredients so for this I used a bag of frozen organic "Southwestern" veggies. The bag of organic veggies was under $3, which was a major bargain! I cooked it all day on low in an old crock-pot and it was just perfect!
