Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup salsa (your favorite brand)

1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chiles

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup cream cheese, cubed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

Tortillas (corn or flour)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sliced avocado (for serving)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker.

    Add Salsa and Seasoning: Pour the salsa and diced tomatoes with green chiles over the chicken. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly on top.

      Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker. It will melt during cooking and create a creamy sauce.

        Set the Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and shreds easily.

          Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, take the chicken out of the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix in the black beans and corn.

            Add Cheeses: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

              Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken mixture is finishing, warm the tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave.

                Assemble Tacos: Spoon the queso chicken mixture onto the warm tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Plate the tacos and serve with additional lime wedges and your favorite toppings.
