To get started, preheat oven to 375°F.

Place chicken breasts in a medium sized pot, ensuring they aren’t overlapping. Pour beer over the top of the chicken and, if needed, add water so the chicken is covered with liquid. Heat the chicken on the stovetop and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 - 18 minutes at a simmer, or until cooked through, skimming any foam from the top as you go.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and cool until you can handle it comfortably. Cut each breast into thirds and shred the chicken into bite sized pieces using two forks (or your fingers).

Place chicken in a large bowl and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Stir to ensure all of the chicken is evenly coated. Add cream cheese and sour cream, stirring to combine.

Next, add black beans, salsa, ¾ of the 4-Cheese Mexican Shredded Cheese (1½ bags), and half of the chopped red onion. Stir until all ingredients are combined.

Coat a 9-10” skillet with a light coating of cooking spray. Pour mixture into the skillet and top with the remaining ½ bag of shredded cheese. Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

Remove skillet from oven and top with the remaining red onion. Allow skillet to cool for 5 minutes (the dip and skillet are VERY hot right out of the oven so it’s important to let it cool). Once cooled a bit, top with tomatoes and fresh cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and hot sauce and dig in!
