Ingredients
Here’s everything you need to make Crockpot Chicken Nachos:
For the Chicken Mixture:Â
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breastsÂ
- 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz)Â
- 1 cup salsa (choose your preferred level of spiciness)Â
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsedÂ
- 1 cup frozen corn kernelsÂ
- 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (10 oz)
For Serving:Â
- Tortilla chips (store-bought or homemade)Â
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheeseÂ
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional, for spice)Â
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, choppedÂ
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurtÂ
- 1/2 cup guacamole or sliced avocadoÂ
- Lime wedges (optional)Â
Instructions
Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the taco seasoning on top of the chicken.
Dump the salsa, black beans, corn, and Rotel tomatoes on top of the chicken. Stir gently to combine, but keep the chicken mostly submerged throughout for equal cooking.
Cover and cook on high for 4–5 hours or low for 6–8 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
After cooking, take the chicken out of the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Shred the chicken and return it to the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices.
Heat your oven to 375°F, spread out a layer of tortilla chips on a large baking sheet lined with foil. Ladle the chicken mixture lavishly over the chips. Add some shredded cheese on top.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 7-10 minutes, until melted and hot.
Take the sheet from the oven and top with jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole and lime wedges as desired. Serve immediately!
