    Hearty Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken with Black Beans

    August 27, 2019 Filed Under: Main Courses with Meat, Poultry

    This hearty Mexican Chicken with Black Beans recipe is an easy flavorful dish that can be used to make burritos or bowls or lettuce wraps.

    Easy Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken with Black Beans can be used to make burritos, burrito bowls, lettuce wraps or served on it own.

     

    This simple slow cooker chicken recipe is bursting with flavorful spices and herbs. It makes a great filling for burritos or you can serve it with some Cilantro Lime Rice for an easy burrito bowl. Or serve it by itself with a classic Caesar Salad.

    I love that I can just toss everything in to the crock pot and let it do it's magic while I go about your day.

    The splash of lime at the end may sound odd, but the hint of citrus does amazing things to brighten the flavors of this recipe.
