This recipe was sent in by blog reader, Nicole Holley. I changed it just a bit to fit my liking. I really enjoy this type of dish and it reminded me a lot of the taco soup and the creamy black bean salsa chicken. It got quite runny, so I just used a slotted spoon and served it over baked tortillas. I suppose you could also serve it as a chunky soup. 4 stars. Thanks Nicole!

Hi! Love the site; I'll definitely be following your recipes.
I found this while googling crock pot mexican chicken and decided to make it for dinner. I left out the cilantro, added 15.5 oz canned corn instead of 6 oz frozen corn.
My husband and I ate it over rice, with shredded cheese and sour cream. Definite keeper! He raved about it. 🙂
I make this same thing but I only cook the chicken with the taco seasoning until it can be shredded easily. After that, I add all the other stuff only 30 minutes before dinner. The biggest difference is that I do not use chilis or cilantro and only use 1 cup of salsa. The key ingredient is missing and that is a box of cream cheese. I love it in tortillas and my husband prefers it on top of rice. SOOOOO good this way. Like 5 stars good.
