- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 small onion, diced

- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 8 small corn tortillas (gluten-free)
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, diced avocado, lime wedges, sour cream
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the crockpot.
- Add enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, onion, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks.
- Tear corn tortillas into bite-sized strips and stir them into the crockpot.
- Sprinkle cheese on top, cover, and cook on low for another 15–20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes
- Can be made with leftover cooked chicken to shorten prep time.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes on high after the cheese melts.
