Every Thursday Family Corner has recipes for Slow Cookers. She calls it Slow Cooking Thursdays and you can find some really good recipes to make in your Crock Pot. Check it out.The kids absolutely love these burritos! The reviews were fantastic. The four year old ate two!! The nine year old said, "I love these. This is the best night". The seven year old was overheard saying to her sister, "The chicken was the best tonight, the juicest, moistest, yummiest that we have had".
If only I could get this praise for the meals I actually work on. I made the chicken when I went home for lunch in less than FIVE minutes. Let me show you how.
Take 2-4 frozen, boneless, skinless, chicken breast, Rotel, and Taco Seasoning. That is it!! Easy peasey.
Pour a can of Rotel over the chicken and generously sprinkle taco seasoning over all. Normally I use McCormick or Pace Taco Seasoning but we went to Sam's this weekend and I got this. I noticed no difference.
***If using more than 3 chicken breast add a half cup of water to keep moist.
Set your Crock Pot on Low to cook for 5 hours. Yes, most slow cookers will say 4 hours is high so I set mine to 8 or 10 hours so I get a low setting. You could also start this in the mroning just put it on the lowest and longest setting. Today I only used 2 breasts because I didn't want leftovers.
After coming home put the kids to work. Get the table set and get out the next ingredients: Refried Beans, Tortilla (burrito size for adults, taco size for kids), sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, lettuce, and any other condiment your family likes or you have on hand.
Refried Beans can be optional but our family likes them and I tend to think it makes the burritos/tacos more filling. I added Taco seasoning to the beans as the seven year old was cooking them.
If you do not own a comal then wrap your tortillas in foil and put in the oven at 300degrees for 10 minutes to warm them up. (My friend Carol would call me a guera if I put tortillas in the microwave)
Shred the chicken, there should be just enough liquid to make it perfect. Take the tortillas out, put all the condiments out and call them to the table!!
Did I mention he ate TWO??!!
Their burrito folding skills do not stand in the way of devouring these chicken burritos!
Yes, the nine year old was right, this was a pretty perfect night.

I think my family would like these too. Thanks!
Welcome to SCT :)
This looks SO good and it's something my family would love.
Those burritos look delicious. I will have to give that recipe a try soon. If you are looking for something fun to do with the kids, try making my peanut bombs. They are easy to make and delicious!
Keep it up
