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.
