EASY CROCK POT CHICKEN & BLACK BEAN TACO SALAD RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Easy Crock Pot Chicken & Black Bean Taco Salad Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-25010

Number Of Ingredients 9

SALAD:
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, 16-ounce total
1 tablespoon reduced sodium taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
1 cup chunky salsa
6 cups chopped romaine or red leaf
1/4 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese blend, shredded
1/2 cup zesty avocado cilantro buttermilk dressing

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season with taco seasoning and cumin. Pour the beans over the chicken and top with salsa. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with 2 forks. Shred the chicken and combine with the beans and sauce, keep warm until ready to eat. Makes 3 1/2 cups. To serve, place the chopped lettuce on a plate or in a bowl. Top with some of the chicken, shredded cheese and salad dressing.

Tips:

  • Cook black beans ahead of time: You can cook black beans in a pressure cooker or on the stovetop. Once cooked, let them cool completely before using them in the salad.
  • Use fresh, ripe vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better the salad will taste. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
