Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 lb Chicken Breasts
  • 16 oz Salsa
  • 15 oz Northern Beans Drained and Rinsed
  • 15 oz Black Beans Drained and Rinsed
  • 11 oz Mexi-Corn Drained and Rinsed
  • 1 oz Taco Seasoning or 4 Homemade Taco Seasoning
  • Serve with Taco Boats or Tortillas and Shredded Cheese

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients and give everything a good toss.
  • Cook on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken pulls apart easily with two forks.
  • Shred the chicken right in the pot and stir it all together.
  • Serve in taco boats or tortillas with shredded cheese on top.

Notes

  • I regularly use raw chicken breasts in this recipe, however, when I am in a time crunch, I throw in pre-cooked frozen grilled chicken breast strips instead and the dish will be ready in 1-2 hours.
  • I like to use a can of northern beans and a can of black beans, but you could use any kind of beans you like.
  • We love to use the mini and regular size soft taco boats, but we have also just thrown this on regular flour tortillas or nachos. It would also make great quesadillas.
  • This recipe typically takes 3-4 hours on high. You will know it is done when the chicken easily pulls apart using two forks. If the chicken is tough, cook a little longer.
  • I have used everything from my 4 qt slow cooker to my 6 qt wifi crock pot to make this recipe. However, as always, please make sure that the first time you try this recipe when you have time to adjust the time for your unit.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
