2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1 jar salsa (16 oz)

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can corn (optional), drained

1 packet taco seasoning

4 oz cream cheese

Tortilla chips

Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Optional: sour cream, guacamole, jalapeños, olives, diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro

2. Add salsa, beans, and corn. Stir to combine.

3. Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.

4. Remove chicken, shred it, and return to the pot.

5. Stir in cream cheese and let it melt, about 5–10 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to broil.

7. Layer chips on a baking tray, top with chicken mixture and shredded cheese.

For crispier nachos, assemble just before serving.

To make it spicier, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the mix.

Store leftovers in separate containers to keep chips from getting soggy.
