You are going to fall in love with this Tex-Mex Chicken with Black Beans and Rice Recipe. Made in the slow cooker it is so easy to prepare and tastes delicious. If you love Tex-Mex this recipe is for you! My family fell in love with the flavors and you can make it spicy as you want. Use a mild flavor taco seasoning packet or a spicy taco packet depending on what your family likes. You can even use a gluten free packet to make this recipe gluten free!

To prepare simply sprinkle the chicken with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning and transfer to a 5 or 6-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, soup, onion, chilies and remaining taco seasoning; pour over chicken. Next add beans. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is tender. Prepare rice according to package directions.
Stir in rice. Stir in sour cream (or serve on the side). We like the sour cream because it keeps the heat down. Serve with cheese and tortilla chips
