Cinco de Mayo is in just a few days! Let's celebrate! All throughout my schooling, I took Spanish. Every year all of us kids would look forward to Cinco de Mayo parties.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and figured out how to make my favorite Mexican entree right at home. The Pollo Fundido. Filling 4 chicken breasts 1 Tbsp cumin 1 Tbsp chili powder 2 tsp. garlic powder 1 can diced green chilies 1/2 C italian salad dressing Put all ingredients in crockpot.
