Mexican Chicken Corn Tortillas with Black Beans
Mexican cuisine traditionally blends flavors together in a subtle and clever way and crockpot cooking means you can get the same effect because of the long, slow cooking method. In these Mexican chicken corn tortillas black beans, chicken, onion and more are combined for a rich, tangy, and aromatic Mexican style crockpot recipe. The ingredients are layered in the crockpot before cooking, almost like a pie, and the cheese will melt through the layers and hold everything together.
You can serve this recipe in a bowl topped with either guacamole, a homemade tomato salsa or sour cream, so people can admire the layered effect before helping themselves to a portion. You can either make layers with the ingredients or make a pie-style taco, with the tortillas on the bottom and the soft ingredients on top. Both ways work nicely and taste great. You can use flour tortillas if you prefer, or if you have some to use up. The corn tortillas are more colorful and have a different flavor.
These Mexican chicken corn tortillas are perfect for a busy weeknight supper because they are easy to make and to eat. Serve them with a crisp green salad and perhaps add some other typical Mexican ingredients to the salad, to continue the theme. Avocado, ground beef, olives, Mexican cheese, and tomatoes would all work nicely, or you can make any other kind of salad you fancy, or even serve these Mexican chicken corn tortillas black beans by themselves.
