Crockpot Salsa Chicken is how this recipe started. I added the queso, I could not resist! A lot of burritos at our Mexican restaurant come smothered in queso and salsa, so I had to give it a shot with this recipe. I was speechless! This recipe tasted just as if we actually went to the Mexican restaurant, I was amazed and so was my husband. As we sat and ate this recipe for the first time, we both agreed it was going on the menu for the following week for our family gathering.
