Cook on high for 3 hours or until chicken is fork-tender. Turn off power. Use 2 forks to shred chicken in cooker. Stir in beans. Cover with lid and stand for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C. To make tortilla chips, lightly spray tortillas with cooking spray. Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. Spread wedges evenly over a large baking tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp, turning them halfway through cooking time. Cool chips on tray
