- 9
- Yields:
-
20-50 20 burrito size or 50 taco size tortillas
- Serves:
- 20-50
ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts (approx 5-6 cups cooked)
- 4 (15 ounce) cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 (15 1/4 ounce) cans kernel corn (drained)
- 2 (10 ounce) diced tomatoes with green chilies (I used Rotel)
- 4 cups salsa (mild, medium, hot-your choice)
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 1⁄2 cup chicken broth
- 20 -50 flour tortillas (20 burrito size or 50 taco size)
- 2 -3 cups cheese (cheddar, Colby-Jack, Mexican blend-your choice)
directions
- Crockpot Directions.
- Place all ingredients except tortillas and cheese in the crock pot and cook on low 6-8 hours. Take chicken out and shred or chop finely. Return the chicken to the crock pot and mix thoroughly.
- Stove Top Directions.
- Cook chicken, shred or chop finely. Add remaining ingredients except tortillas and cheese. Bring to a boil and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
- To Prepare Burritos.
- Warm tortillas in microwave to make them easier to roll. Place cheese on tortilla, add chicken mixture. Roll folding the ends in and place seam side down in a baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. If you like a crispier burrito, bake 5 more minutes.
- NOTE: I was able to get 50 burritos using the taco size tortillas. I prefer using the taco size because these are a great "grab" snack for my family.
- Freezer Directions.
- After the burritos have completely cooled, I placed them in freezer bags, removed the air and sealed. I can fit 4 burritos in a quart size bag and 8 in a gallon size. Bake for 20-30 minutes in toaster oven at 350 degrees.
- If you don't wish to roll your burritos before freezing, place the chicken mixture in either quart or gallon size freezer bags, remove air and freeze. Attach a quart size bag with desired amount of cheese and freeze.

I used petite diced tomatoes instead of tomatoes with chilies because I don't like things too hot and I didn't add the chicken broth. I also used six chicken breasts. I cooked mine on high for four hours. I did make up some in tortillas but they were too juicy and made the tortillas soggy so the rest of the filling I froze in freezer bags and then thawed and made the tortillas. We enjoyed them this way. We enjoyed the taste of these and they were easy to make.

This is a great recipe! The only major changes I made were to substitute one whole shredded chicken (using the stovetop directions) for the chicken breasts, and frozen corn for the canned. Followed all the other directions to a T - I used spicy Rotel and a flavorful salsa, so no other seasoning was really needed. I ended up freezing half as taco-sized burritos, and half as-is, to make into Quesadillas... this recipe reheats nicely, and was a hit with everyone! Thanks so much for sharing!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I only made up the filling and froze it in ziploc bags... I take out a bag and let it thaw for burritos, quesedillas, tacos, etc in a snap! I made a double batch and got enough filling for at least 10 meals for my family! My favorite way to eat this is in quesedillas, I just lightly butter 2 flour tortillas, put one in the pan, sprinkle w/ cheese, add filling, and more cheese, then put the other tortilla on. I just finished my last bag of this and I am getting ready to make a new batch! I did have to season it up quite a bit, the recipe as written seemed a bit bland to my taste. I added more cumin, some chili powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Thanks for the great idea!!
