  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles for mild heat
  • 1 packet taco seasoning gluten-free or homemade if desired
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese blend can substitute with Monterey Jack or sharp cheddar
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans drain and rinse before adding
  • 1 cup sweet corn fresh, frozen, or canned

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Spray the interior of your slow cooker with nonstick spray for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Pour the red enchilada sauce over the chicken, followed by the fire-roasted tomatoes and diced green chiles. Sprinkle the taco seasoning on top and stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 3-4 hours or on Low for 4-6 hours.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks and return it to the slow cooker. Add half of the Mexican cheese blend, black beans, corn, and tortilla strips, then fold together.
  6. Top with remaining cheese and cover the slow cooker again. Cook on High for an additional 20-30 minutes or until cheese melts.
  7. If desired, stir in cream cheese during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm.
