I'm on a strict diet at the moment in an attempt to determine if a food intolerance might be the cause of an auto-immune issue I'm experiencing. So, for now, this post will only be eaten by my eyes and tasted in my imagination.
However, once I'm through the other side, this will be high on my binge list haha.

@erinb My hubby has an auto-immune disease too and eating a healthy diet has changed his life. He was able to get off his weekly interferon shots... so don't give up! If you need some help or tips, I'm a nutritionist and here to help!

Oh my goodness that looks delicious. We're big on Mexican food in our household. Every week we've got pork in the slow cooker to be 'pulled' and eaten on nachos. But prawns + Mexican... you're combining two of my all time favourites there.
Thanks for the post.

We love Mexican food too! Since we moved to Asia we don't have a slow cooker anymore:​-( So no slow cooked meats for us. However, I've heard that you can use a rice cooker too... and that is something that can be found in nearly every shop in Asia! Enjoy the recipe. I hope you like it as much as we did!
