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!

This was quite tasty. Thought I would have to add more flavorings, but it was pretty good.

Such an easy and flavorful meal. Tastes great and is filling just as it is, but next time I might add some shredded chicken or black beans for some protein. The recipe was so easy, I don't even need to write it down. Be ready for some spice! I added an extra 1/2 chipotle pepper and loved it but wouldn't recommend more than that. Don't skip the chips. They are too easy and add so much to the dish.
