- Quite a bit of liquid will accumulate in the pot while it cooks. When I scoop the chicken mixture into a taco or any other way of serving it, I like to use a slotted spoon or tongs so that it doesn’t make everything else soggy. I have noticed that any leftovers thicken up after sitting in the fridge.
- To turn this into a freezer meal:
Place chicken, onion, corn, black beans, salsa, lime juice, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days.
When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker and add 1/4 cup of water or chicken broth in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top and cook for 7-8 hours on low (4-5 hours on high).
Shred the chicken, then stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheese (cream cheese doesn't freeze well, so you will want to add it in on the day you make it).
