1 can black beans {drained}
2 cups salsa {I use a one pint jar of my canned salsa}
Taco Seasoning to taste {optional}
Tortillas
Sour cream
Grated Cheese


Directions

Layer salsa, chicken, corn, beans & salsa in crock pot. Cook for 2-3 hours on high.


Serving Suggestions

The first couple of times I made this we ate it just how it came out. Chicken with corn/bean mixture on the side; not bad. Then one time I took the chicken out, shredded it and put it back in and mixed everything really well. Then we served it on tortillas with cheese and sour cream; YUM!!

If you are 2 years old and don't do well with a 'wrap' OR if you are not 2 and just don't want to deal with the mess... it's yummy to eat like soup with pieces of tortilla ripped up and stirred in with your cheese and sour cream.

side note: makes delish leftovers!
