Steps:
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine the chicken, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and vinegar. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken pieces for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Prepare the fajita veggies: To the same pan, add in the olive oil, peppers, onion, oregano, and salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and caramelized.
- Prepare the beans: Add the beans, chili powder, cumin, and lime juice to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the beans for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add salt if needed.
- Prepare the cilantro lime rice: Prepare the rice according to package directions. Once cooked, stir in the olive oil or butter, lime juice, and cilantro.
- Assemble the burritos: Place the tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable. Place each tortilla on large squares of tin foil. Place portions of the chicken, rice, veggies, beans, and any extra fixings in the middle of the tortilla. For each burrito, bring the bottom half of the tortilla up over the pile of fillings and tuck the bottom edge under the pile. Fold each side of the tortilla into the middle and roll up the burrito so it's seam side down and in the middle of the tin foil. Package up the burrito in the tin foil. Enjoy!`

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup pico de gallo, the chopped chipotle and adobo sauce to taste; cook until the mixture starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup water; bring to a low boil, then stir in the chicken and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt.
- Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.
- Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla snugly over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut the burritos in half and serve with guacamole if using.

SLOW COOKER CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BURRITOS
This is a savory Mexican dish that you can prepare in your crock pot. It's easy and delicious. I like using boneless chicken thighs because my local Sam's Club has them reduced every so often which makes for a cheap quick meal, but you can use boneless chicken breasts as well.

Steps:
- Put a Reynolds crock pot liner into crock pot. Season chicken thighs with a light dash of seasoning salt in the bottom of your crock pot. Then sprinkle ONLY ½ of the Chipotle seasoning packet over the chicken thighs. In a small bowl combine soup, sour cream, minced onions and the other ½ of the of Chipotle seasoning packet, mixing well. Then spoon creamy mixture over top of the chicken thighs. If chicken is frozen, cook on high for 4-5 hours. If chicken is thawed then cook on low for 6 hours. After chicken is fully cooked (should fall apart) then remove chicken and shred with 2 forks. In crock pot stir in refried beans, shredded cheese and chicken pieces into mixture, cooking for an additional 15 minutes on low. This will thicken up the chicken mixture. In the middle of each tortilla top with chicken mixture and roll up tightly. Then top with lettuce, sour cream and tomato.
