YES! FRITOS! In a casserole that's all cooked in a crock pot! You are going to loooooove this one.  Seriously, it may not seem like a whole lot is going on, but this is crazy delicious.

Adapted from America's Test Kitchen

Ingredients
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 lb potatoes, cubed
salt and pepper
paprika
2 tbsp instant tapioca
1/2 cup frozen corn
3 cups Fritos, crushed
1 1/2 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
1/4 cup chopped cilantro


1. Combine tomatoes, potatoes, paprika, and tapioca in the slow cooker.  Season chicken with salt and pepper and nestle into slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours until chicken is tender.
2. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, let cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces.  Stir 1 cup Frito crumbs, 1 cup Mexican cheese blend, corn, and cilantro into slow cooker until cheese is melted and mixture has thickened.  Stir in shredded chicken.
3. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and 2 cups of Fritos, cover, and cook on high for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
