Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce from the can
One 14-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt
4 burrito-size flour tortillas
1 1/3 cups cooked white rice, warmed
1 1/3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 5 ounces)
1 1/3 cups shredded romaine lettuce
Guacamole, for serving (optional)

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



Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Burritos image

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.

Provided by Cooking Mama 3

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 6h20m

Yield 10 burittos, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1 ounce ready-to-use baked pizza crust, durkee grill creations chipotle marinade mix
10 ounces cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dehydrated onion
1 dash Lawry's Seasoned Salt
16 ounces refried beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
10 flour tortillas (10 inch)
3 cups shredded lettuce
1 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe avocados, crisp lettuce, and tender chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about burritos is that you can customize them to your own liking. Try different combinations of toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese.
  • Wrap the burritos tightly: This will help to keep all of the ingredients inside and prevent them from falling out.
  • Serve the burritos immediately: Burritos are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Chipotle chicken burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious, healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
