Recipe Ingredients

• Chicken: We use boneless skinless chicken breasts. You can also use boneless chicken thighs. Rotisserie chicken works well too, but add an additional cup of broth.
• Fire Roasted Corn: This helps contribute to the Tex-Mex taste.
• Pinto Beans: Adds heartiness. Chili beans also work well in this recipe. Black beans also add a nice twist.
• Olives: Because “tacos,” right? Though I do understand some people do not like black olives, these can be skipped.
• Water: To help with creating the soup base. You can also use chicken broth.
• Salsa: A must have with any taco soup. You can use my leftover Slow Cooker Salsa.
• Seasonings: A mild taco seasoning packet and Ranch dressing seasoning mix have all of the flavors you need. (Full recipe is in the recipe card below the photos).

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Add the chicken breasts, pinto beans, salsa, corn, olives and seasoning mixes to the slow cooker.

Step Two – Pour over the water and stir everything together until well combined.

Step Three – Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. When the cooking time is up, shred chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker. Serve and enjoy!
