## Ingredients

- 1 pound chicken breast I used boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning or more to taste
- 1 (16-oz) jar salsa use half of your jar for less saucy chicken; see notes for more info
- 1 (15-oz) can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 onion coarsely chopped
- taco shells and any toppings you like

## Instruction

1. Place all ingredients EXCEPT for the taco shells and toppings in a 5-6 quart crockpot. Stir, making sure there’s some sauce underneath the chicken so it doesn’t end up sticking to the bottom.
2. Cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours. Shred with a fork, then serve with taco shells and your favorite taco toppings.

## Augmentation

- Place the Chicken in the crocpot and add seasoning over chicken.
- Add onion and Salsa in the crockpot
- Cook for 8 hours.
- Cook the corn in a skillet to brown the corn.
- Cook the beans on their own
