Ingredients:

Servings: 12

• 1 medium garlic clove , minced
• 1 small red onion , chopped
• 14 ½ ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 15 ounces canned kidney beans , drained and rinsed
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon table salt

Directions:

1. Place garlic, onion, tomatoes, beans, chili powder, salt, oregano and pepper in a 3-quart slow cooker; stir well. Add chicken and broth. Cover and cook on low setting for 5 hours; drain off liquid (there should be about 6 cups of burrito mixture).

3. You can microwave the burritos, seam-side down, for 30 seconds, if desired.
4. Serve with salsa and reduced-fat or fat-free sour cream (could affect POINTS values).

This was definitely easy but made as directed, the filling was quite bland. Ended up increasing chili powder to 1 T., added 1/2 t. cumin, 1/4 t. red pepper flakes, and more salt. That was about right for our tastes. With those changes, would make again. Thanks.
