Ingredients

    1½ lbs. chicken breasts
    1 (16 oz.) jar salsa
    1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
    ½ lb. (8 oz.) frozen corn
    1 Tbsp chili powder
    ½ Tbsp cumin
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    ½ tsp dried oregano
    ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
    ¼ tsp salt
    to taste cracked pepper
    8 oz. shredded cheddar
    ½ bunch cilantro (optional, but it is added in the nutrition info)

Tips

Rice is not included in the nutritional info.


Directions

Add everything except the cheese, and cilantro to the slow cooker along with ¼ cup of water (for good measure). Give everything a good stir and make sure the chicken is covered in the mixture.

Secure the lid on your slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hrs.

After 8 hours of cooking, carefully remove the lid of the slow cooker. Stir with a fork to shred the chicken (it should be super tender and will shred easily). Build the taco bowls by placing rice (or whatever you are using as a substitute) on the bottom, then the taco chicken mix, shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
