1. Place chicken in a large crock pot and pour water and salsa over the chicken. Next add in chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic, lime juice.  Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until chicken easily shreds.  (You can cook on high for 4 hours.)  Add the corn and black beans in the last hour of cooking.  (Don't forget!)
