Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 cup cream cheese (softened)

1 cup chicken broth

1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (drained)

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup black beans (rinsed and drained)

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small flour or corn tortillas

Toppings: chopped cilantro, diced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, and lime wedges

Instructions
 

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray for easy cleanup.

    Layer the Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.

      Add Creaminess: Add the softened cream cheese on top of the chicken, followed by the chicken broth. This will help keep everything moist and creamy while cooking.

        Add Veggies: Dump in the diced tomatoes (make sure they are drained), corn, black beans, minced garlic, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently stir to combine the ingredients without disturbing the chicken too much.

          Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and can be shredded easily with a fork.

            Shred the Chicken: Before serving, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the cooker and stir thoroughly to combine it with the creamy sauce.

              Prepare the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the creamy ranch chicken mixture.

                Top and Serve: Add your favorite toppings such as chopped cilantro, diced avocado, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
