Crockpot Mexican Enchilada Orzo

This was a really tasty recipe and super easy to make. Love sitting down to dinner at the end of the day when the crock pot has done all of the work!

And, a bonus with this recipe is that the leftovers make a really tasty burrito filling. Just pile it into a tortilla with all the fixin's and it was equally as delicious served that way!

1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 14.5 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 15 oz can corn, drained
1 4.5 oz can chopped green chiles
12 oz enchilada sauce
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried cilantro

4 oz cream cheese, cubed
salt and pepper, to taste
16 oz dried orzo pasta, uncooked

  2. Stir until well combined. Top with cubed cream cheese.
