Creating Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Burritos is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Here’s how:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
2. Add Flavor: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly on top.
3. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the drained black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and corn kernels.
4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Shred it using two forks and return it to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6. Melt the Cheese: Top the mixture with shredded cheese, cover, and let it melt for about 10 minutes.
7. Prepare the Tortillas: While the cheese is melting, warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
8. Assemble Burritos: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add toppings of your choice.
9. Roll Up the Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom to create a burrito shape.
10. Serve: Serve immediately while warm, garnished with additional toppings if desired.
