Ingredients
  

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 jar salsa 15 oz
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 bell peppers roughly chopped
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 pack low carb tortillas
  • reduced fat Mexican cheese blend

Instructions
 

  • In your crockpot, combine salsa, olive oil, chicken both, water, taco seasoning, black beans, onion, and bell pepper.
  • Nestle the chicken breasts into the mixture. Slow cook on high for 3-4 hours, until chicken falls apart easily.
  • Shred chicken in the crockpot with two forks. If there is a lot of excess liquid, try to ladle out as much as possible.
  • Cut the low carb tortillas into 1-2 inch squares. Mix into the casserole, with as much cheese as you want. Top with more cheese and cook for another 30 mins.
  • Serve with anything else you like- sour cream, rice, avocado, more cheese, etc
