How to make it
- Nestle chicken thighs into the slow cooker. Sprinkle with taco seasoning.
- Pour salsa over the top. No stirring needed — the chicken releases its own juices.
- Cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3½ hours until chicken shreds easily with a fork.
- Drain corn and rinse black beans. Stir them in during the last 15 minutes so they warm through.
- Shred chicken directly in the pot with two forks. Taste and adjust salt.
- Serve in warm tortillas with a squeeze of lime and a spoon of sour cream.
Tips
- Freeze half the shredded chicken for enchiladas next week.
- For extra kick, swap in a hot salsa or a canned chipotle.
