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.

  1. My family LOVED this! I loved this! I will be making it again and again!
     
  2. YUMMY!!! LOVED IT!! I didn't add the corn because I increased the recipe to make a batch and a half and my crock pot couldn't hold a drop more :) But even without the corn everyone gobbled it down. Fantastic burrito recipe
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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!
     
  5. 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!!
