Salsa Chicken Recipe
This Salsa Chicken is another Mexican inspired recipe. The ingredients include black beans, corn and thick salsa.
To spice it up, add 1 to 2 diced jalapeno or Serrano peppers.
While you can melt the cheese in the slow cooker or crockpot, I prefer the alternative way of melting the cheese under the broiler. Try it and you'll see!
