This book contains over 80 recipes and covers a large variety of Mexican dishes divided into categories of Dips and Appetizers, Stocks and Soups, Vegetarian Dishes, Seafood and Poultry Dishes, Meat Dishes, Side Dishes, Desserts, and Kitchen Staples. The first chapter is an introduction to slow cooker cooking and teaches you the basics and the Do's and Don'ts of slow cooker cooking. This was very helpful to me as I haven't done much slow cooker cooking in the past and this chapter served to familiarize me with this cooking device and the associated techniques. Chapter Two introduces Mexican cooking and gives a brief overview of beloved Mexican foods and common ingredients used. The book from this point on is all recipes divided into categories.
I am very happy that there is such a wide variety of recipes included, there is something for everyone. The recipes are concise and easy to follow with the serving size, prep time, and cook time listed for each one. There are foolproof step by step instructions that even novice chefs won't have problems with. I tried making a few recipes from the book and the results were very good, it's amazing how a small amount of work created such great results. The last chapter of the book covers staples of Mexican food that don't involve a slow cooker such as tortillas, salsas, and seasonings. This is a great inclusion as these are essentials and your Mexican meal would be lacking without them.
The slow cooker method allows you much convenience in cooking with the ability to prepare ingredients and start the cooking process without being chained to the stove or kitchen. Just start the cooker and you can continue on with your busy life and come back later to reap the reward of a delicious meal. Now that I've experienced the advantages and benefits of the slow cooker method I'll be sure to cook more.
This book gives you so many different recipes and instructions and does a great job at getting people that haven't cooked Mexican slow cooker cuisine before to start cooking in this style. It also helps you to realize the depth and variety found in Mexican cuisine, it's not just tacos, burritos, and the commonly recognizable, there's so much more! I do wish that this book contained more photographs of the finished dishes and photographs of some less common or familiar cooking steps.
I received this book at no cost for my honest and unbiased review.

SAMPLE RECIPE: Corn on the Cob with Chili and Lime
SERVES: 6 / PREP TIME: 5 minutes / COOK TIME: 4 1/2 hours (LOW), 2 hours (HIGH)
Fresh corn on the cob is a delicious part of summer meals. This recipe goes beyond plain corn on the cob and takes it to the level of Mexican street food with the addition of chili powder and lime. If you’ve never cooked corn in the slow cooker before, you are in for a treat. Since the corn steams inside the aluminum foil instead of boiling in water, it doesn’t lose any of its flavor. When you unwrap the packets, you’ll have perfectly cooked, tender, buttery corn with the refreshing flavor of chili and lime. Best of all, this method is great when you are cooking for a crowd.
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, lime juice, chili powders, salt, pepper, and lime zest until well blended.
2. Cut six large squares of aluminum foil, and place an ear of corn in the center of each square. Cover each ear of corn with 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture.
3. Wrap corn tightly in the foil.
4. Place the wrapped corn in the slow cooker, and cook on low for 4 1/2 hours or on high for 2 hours.
5. Unwrap the corn and add more seasonings if needed. Serve hot.
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ancho chili powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 6 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
