I just finished making this and it is DELICIOUS! It's easy, cheap and could feed at least 6 people. I threw in some Spanish rice and it was great!

Sounds amazing! wish i had a slow cooker over here in Spain although you could probably adapt it easily enough for the oven. One little note that´s just a pet peeve of mine! Mexican food and Spanish food have basically NOTHING in common! Spanish food would be more like paella, potato omelette or ¨tortilla¨, gazpacho, sangria etc. Please! Spread the word. (I sometimes wish they were the same because man, do I get some huge cravings for Mexican! Somebody gimme a margarita!)

I used fajita seasoning instead of taco seasoning and it turned out great! I will definitely make this again.

This was good. My husband said that he would like to have it again. Very easy being that it is cooked in the Slow-cooker. Not a lot of mess to clean up.
