  1. Place spices and oregano in a 5.5L (22-cup) slow cooker. Add chicken, toss to coat and arrange in a single layer. Top with capsicum and tomatoes. Cover with lid. 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
  3. Preheat an oven grill on medium-high. Bring chips close together on tray. Spoon chicken mixture over chips and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Cook under hot grill for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and chicken mixture is hot. Serve topped with sour cream, coriander, jalapeños and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

TIP: Some corn tortillas contain wheat, while others don’t. Be sure to check the label if following a gluten-free diet.
