Chicken Burritos (Enchilada Style)

Last night I made chicken burritos for dinner and put a picture up on Instagram because I was so pleased with how they turned out. A couple of friends asked for the recipe so I thought I'd blog about it. I just kind of made it up on the spot yesterday and didn't measure anything so I'll try my best to remember about how much I did of everything.

Chicken Burritos (Enchilada Style)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 thawed chicken breasts
1 1/2 to 2 cups salsa (I used my mom's homemade salsa! Yummy!)
4 oz. cream cheese (cubed)

1 cup cooked rice (I did 1/2 cup rice 1/2 cup quinoa)
1 can black beans (drained)

1/4 cup salsa verde
medium tortillas
shredded cheddar cheese (I honestly have no idea how much I used because I love a lot of cheese!)

Directions:

• Layer half of the salsa and cream cheese on the bottom of a crockpot. Then put the thawed chicken with the rest of the salsa and cream cheese on top. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
• When the chicken has about an hour left in the crockpot, shred the chicken and let cook for remaining hour or so.
• In a medium bowl mix together finished chicken, cooked rice, and beans. (Make sure to leave as much sauce in the crockpot as possible.)
• Grease a 9x13 in  pan and spread 1/4 cup salsa verde on the bottom.
• Fill tortillas with the chicken, rice, and beans with some shredded cheese. Roll up and place rolled end on the bottom to hold it in place.
• Pour the remaining sauce from the crockpot over the top of your burritos and as much shredded cheese as you want. Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 min. 

Notes:

I used my cute little crockpot (I think it's 2 qts?) and it was the perfect size for how much I was cooking. I love love love that crockpot because it is perfect for making meals for two with leftovers for lunches. :)

I only made 4 burritos and froze the remaining chicken, rice, and beans for a future meal. I think this recipe would make 6-8 burritos depending on how full you pack them. I was only able to eat one and it was the perfect amount of food. Nathan ate one and a half and was a little too full after. So about one burrito per person should be pretty good.

I put a spoonful of pico on top for a little extra flavor and color. 

These seriously turned out so good and were super easy! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did! :)
