UnitsScale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (16 oz) jar of salsa
1 (15 oz) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can of corn, drained
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2cup chopped onion (optional)
1/2cup cream cheese (optional, for creamy version)
Salt and pepper to taste

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
Pour the salsa, black beans, corn, chopped onion (if using), and taco seasoning over the chicken.

About 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken with two forks directly in the crockpot.
Stir in cream cheese (if using) until melted and fully combined.

Use rotisserie chicken and reduce cook time if you’re in a hurry.
Make it spicier by adding chopped jalapeños or hot sauce.
