Got this from Crock Pot Girls on facebook, then altered it a bit.
*** Btw, this recipe makes a lot. Made this for our family of 3, and will probably get 4 meals out of it. Freezing some for later days ***
Crockpot Chicken Tacos
(2oz servings, not including Taco shell or toppings)
Calories: 64 Carbs: 8 Fiber: 2 Fat: 1 Protein: 8 Sugar: 1 Sodium: 74
Ingredients
1 lbs dry black beans
2 lbs boneless chicken breast
2 10oz cans Rotel MILD (you can do hot, but for the whole family I'd stick to mild)
NIGHT BEFORE PREP
The night before you need to soak the beans. Pour 1lb bag of beans into large bowl, and fill with water until there is 2-3 inches of water over the top of the beans. Let sit overnight.
Directions
1) Drain beans.
2) Combine Rotel, Chicken, and Beans in crockpot.
3) Turn crockpot to high and let cook (6-8 hours).
4) About 1-2 hours before eating shred chicken with fork and mix all ingredients.
Eat on top of tostadas, in tacos or burritos, or just by itself. Tastes really good with light sour cream & cheese!
(made homemade taco shells w/ Arizona Corn Tortillas, used daisy sour cream, and great value fiesta cheese, taco came out to 135 cal each, but super filling.)

High on 6-8 hrs - I cook mine on High 4-5 hours and then check..most of the time 4 hours on high is the most I leave it. I do have a nice Crockpot with a timer and it will shut off and go to warm after the timer goes off which is a really nice feature.
Might need to experiment on yours but this could be what's going on with yours as well?
To the OP, thanks for sharing your recipe, love black beans! Looks like a pretty tasty recipe to try:flowerforyou:0 -
