Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

With soccer practices, homework, and many other activities going on during the week
I have been loving my slow cooker.
Fix it in the morning, and it is ready in time for dinner.
This is a very yummy slow cooker meal.
The cream cheese and salsa mixed together with the beans, corn, and shredded chicken is so good.
Serve in a crispy shell or soft shell tortilla, with what ever tacos toppings you like.
Enjoy!
