Very Good and Very Easy. Family loved it. I didn't add the Black Beans because I was fixing refried beans and spanish rice as sides. Will try the black beans next time. YEP! there will be a next time. I also had the Wholly Guacamole (recipe I also found on here)

Didn't have time to use the slow cooker, so I tossed the chicken with chili powder and browned in a little oil. Then I added the lime juice and simmered for 25 minutes. Shredded the chicken and added back to the pan with corn, salsa and beans for another 20 minutes. Also added some cumin, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder, about 1/2 tsp each. Super delicious...can't wait to try it in the crock pot! Thanks so much for sharing!

Yummy and easy! The whole family loves them. I use taco seasoning instead of the chili powder and mine were done in less than 3 hours on low. I added 1 cup of black beans with the salsa and corn and also more lime juice and fresh cilantro. I can't believe how tasty these are with so little effort-love it!
