Pour the salsa and the juice of half of the lime over the chicken.
Cover and cook the slow cooker on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken shreds easily.
About 30 minutes before serving, rinse the rice and boil it in twice its volume of salted water, covered, for 12 minutes. Leave it covered for 5 minutes, then fluff it.
Shred the chicken in the slow cooker with two forks and stir in the drained black beans. Cover for 5 minutes.
