I just found your site when looking for Costa Vida recipe. I am actually am single so no family to feed, but I want to be prepared for that day by practicing on my roommates. I love Costa Vida (I live near one) but I wanted to see how I could do. I have never used a crock pot before, but luckily one of my roommates does have one. Just wanted to say thanks I will try it out this week!

I think this site is great!

This is very delicious and the chicken is soooo tender! It is also yummy as leftovers. By the way, Sam’s has carried the uncooked tortillas for years – find them in the area where all the grated cheeses are. Safeway also carries them, though in a small package. Thank you for this great recipe – I will use it often.

Oh my goodness! I love Cafe Rio/Costa Vida! You can buy their tortillas, freshly made right there in their restaurant.

Someone sent me the recipes from Cafe Rio in an email. I have yet to try them. Now, I have some real authority and definitely will tackle this.

In the 3 weeks in Utah, I only hit Cafe Rio once. Amazing, I know!

If the chicken is thawed I cook it on high for four hours. If I want to put it in first thing in the morning and cook it longer I’ll put the chicken in frozen and cook in on low for 8 hours. Enjoy!

Sounds wonderful! Do you put your crockpot on High or Low?

This looks yummy and easy! Perfect in my book. I wish I had a Costco closer for the tortilla factor – people rave about them and I’ve never seen them at Sam’s…bummer!

I’ve had the same problem with the tortillas so I divide them up and throw them in the freezer. They thaw fine and taste great!

Hooray! Your class went well. I’ll check back on Monday for all the details. Oh, and I also love the tortillas from Costco, but I didn’t eat them fast enough last time and they got a little “green.” Ugh.

I just found your blog through Holly – Phemomenon – and I’m so glad! I’m a total fan of quick and easy meals – and of Cafe Rio!!
