Where does the lime juice come in? Not in your instructions.
Leigh Anne says
Sorry about that, it is in the instructions in the post but left it off in the recipe. I have updated the recipe. Thanks.
Bridget says
Wow this is MUCH spicier than I expected. Used mild chilies but all 3 kids cried when they ate it (toddlers)
🙁
Leigh Anne says
Bridget, You can definitely control your heat by the amount of chilies you add. You could just add in a tsp of the juice so you get the smoky flavor and not too much heat.

Deb says
Looks tasty and easy to make. I did notice you said “I placed the chicken in the crock pot” in the middle of the instructions (when you meant to say, “pork”), but I think chicken would work (and I happen to have some in the freezer), so I am going to try it.
Leigh Anne says
Deb, oops, you are right. I’ve got that corrected, thanks It would be good with chicken too, just won’t need to cook as long.
