crockpot burritos

[picksbigwagon]

Okay, gonna share this recipie here, we are having it for dinner tonight and lets face it, anything in the crockpot is pretty simple cooking:

1 pound chx breasts (don't cut up or anything)

2 cans of black beans

1 can of corn

1 can of rotell

1 jar of your favorite salsa

1 onion chopped

some cumin, cayanne pepper (if you like)

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

fresh cilantro

1-2 limes juiced, depending on quality of limes

In the crockpot I start with a little nonstick cooking spray, and I season the chicken breasts (you can even use frozen) with the cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper. then layer the onions on the bottom, then the chicken, then the corn, rotell, black beans, and finally the salsa. Put it on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. At the end of cooking, shread the chicken in the crockpot, add lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with Tortilla's or lettuce leaves. I will make a pakcage of Spanish rice to serve with it as well. Usual fixings too: cheese, sour cream, black olives, Jalepeno's, what have you.

Enjoy

This is making me hungry. Gotta try it.

That sounds really good.

[Dark Cloud]

Sounds great! And a recipe that also needs tums and TP.

In the crock pot as I type!

ours came out a little soupier than usual which I think was from the onions (I try to use dehyrdrated onions in the crock since fresh ones really add a lot of liquid) and I used frozen corn too which added to the liquid. I guess if I had thrown the baggie of spanish rice in the crock it would have taken care of the extra liquid.....

I am making pork chops tomorrow night, I will share that recipie tomorrow night....

picksbigwagon, Here's a simpler recipe fo Crockpot Fajitas. 1.5 # boneless/skinless Chicken breasts, 2 cups water, 1-4oz can of chopped green chilis, 1 packet of Lipton Onion dried Soup mix. About 1 cup of thinly sliced Green Peppers and an equal amount of thinly sliced onion. Slice the Chicken into small pieces so it'll shred easily after it's cooked, put chicken, water, chilis, and onion soup mix into Crock pot on med/low for 6 hours or so. About 1/2 hour before serving, saute the onions and peppers together in a small amount of oil until they're soft, (NOT fried). Serve as a "Build your own" on Buritto size tortillas with the onion/peppers, sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomato or salsa, black olives, or what ever you like on your fajitas. I serve these to the gals on my daughters dance team and they all tell their moms to get my recipe! (4 of 9 have!!)Some moms are just a bit 'more bashful' Phred52

I made the crockpot burritos a couple nights ago, except I used pheasant instead of chicken and it turned out really well. I also cooked the rice directly in the crockpot towards the end.

I just made the burritos and they turned out very well. I also put the rice in about and hour before I ate them and it soaked up the excess liquid nicely.

Tried this last night,turned out awsome! I'm not a huge burrito fan but wanted to try something new and easy. I added the spanish rice the last hour and the family loved it. Thanks for sharing.
