Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup salsa (your choice of spicy or mild)

1 packet taco seasoning

1 (8 oz) block cream cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 tablespoon olive oil

12 small flour or corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a slow cooker, place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom. Pour the salsa over the chicken and sprinkle the taco seasoning on top.

    Add Cream Cheese: Cut the cream cheese into cubes and place it on top of the chicken and salsa mixture. This will melt and create a creamy sauce.

      Cook the Mixture: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

        Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce.

          Add Beans and Corn: Stir in the black beans and corn, allowing them to heat through for about 10-15 minutes.

            Melt Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover for another 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.

              Assemble Tacos: Warm the tortillas on a skillet or microwave. Take a generous spoonful of the queso chicken mixture and place it in the center of each tortilla.

                Garnish and Serve: Top the tacos with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
