FIESTA CHICKEN BURRITOS CROCKPOT



Fiesta Chicken Burritos Crockpot image

The basis for this recipe was from Taste of Home. I changed it to reflect our likings. It has a bit of kick without being over the top. Does have a strong cumin flavor, but that is the way we like it. I like to use seasoned salt and pepper to sprinkle over the raw chicken before putting it in the crockpot.

Provided by Gadgetsmidnight

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup whole kernel corn, frozen
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese
8 flour tortillas, warmed (8 inches)
nonstick cooking spray
sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato

Steps:

  • Use nonstick spray to spray the interior of 5-6 qt crockpot. (I actually use the crockpot liners for easy cleanup.).
  • If doing, season salt and pepper each side of the chicken.
  • Lay raw chicken in bottom of crock.
  • In medium size bowl, stir together the corn, beans, tomatoes, green chilis and spices. Pour over chicken.
  • Cook on low 4 to 5 hours until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
  • Pull out chicken and shred using 2 forks. (Careful meat is very hot).
  • Return chicken to crock pot and stir to combine.
  • Place 8 oz of cream cheese on top of mixture and let melt about 15 minutes. Then stir to completely combine.
  • Let the whole mixture set for another 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
  • Warm tortilla. Add about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture and roll/fold up burrito.
  • Top with your favorite toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, be sure to leave enough space between the pieces so they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality salsa. The salsa is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a salsa that you like the taste of. If you can, use a fresh salsa made with ripe tomatoes and cilantro.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the burritos immediately. These burritos are best served immediately after they are made. The tortillas will get soggy if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

These creamy chicken burritos are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give these creamy chicken burritos a try.
