Mexican Style Red Beans & Rice image

This slow cooker dish is full of a variety of flavors! I wanted to create a new dish to put on a Mexican buffet using some leftover white rice. We love traditional southern red beans and rice, so I decided to add a few Mexican ingredients and see what it would turn out like. We immediately loved the spiciness the taco seasoning...
