This is a family favorite we absoultly love this one and it is easy easy easy!!!

3 to 5 boneless skinlesschicken breast or 5 to 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs

1 can black beans (opt....I don't put them in because I am the only person at my house that likes them)

place ingredients in crock pot on high for 3 hours or low for 6 to 7. after the chicken is cooked shred the chicken ( I do this in the slow cooker and then just stir everything together) and mix with other ingredients in the slow cooker. then put the chicken mix in tortilla and put your choice of toppings............ENJOY!!!
