Instructions


1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and season with taco seasoning and cumin. Pour the beans over the chicken and top with salsa.

2. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with 2 forks. Once cooked take chicken out and shred. Once shredded combine with the beans and sauce, keep warm until ready to eat. Makes 3 1/2 cups.

3. To make the dressing:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • For a thinner dressing add more buttermilk, for a thicker dip use less.


4. Use chicken to make a taco or place on top of a bed of lettuce:

  • Top with grated cheese, chopped lettuce (if making a taco), tomato, and zesty avocado dressing and a squeeze of lime.


Serve and enjoy!
