Preparation

Step 1

Preparation:

In a slow cooker, stir together the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, onion, lime juice, cheddar-cheese soup, and half of the taco seasoning.


Coat the chicken with the remaining taco seasoning and place on top of the mixture in the slow cooker.


Cover with the lid on and set for 3–4 hours on high or 6–7 hours on low, until chicken is fork tender.


Remove the chicken to a plate, and with 2 forks, shred the chicken. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker to reheat and stir in the cilantro. Serve over rice or crushed tortillas.
