Ingredients

For the Burritos:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups salsa (store-bought or homemade, any spice level)
  • 15.5 ounces black beans (rinsed and drained, 1 can)
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup dry long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend divided
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 cup pico de gallo (store-bought or homemade)
  • Guacamole for serving
  • Salsa for serving
  • Sour cream for serving

Instructions

Directions:

  • Start by cutting your boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. This helps them cook evenly and makes for easy assembly later on.
  • In your crockpot, combine the cubed chicken, taco seasoning, salsa, black beans, frozen corn, rice, and chicken broth. Stir everything together until well combined.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and tender, and the rice should be fluffy and fully cooked.
  • Once the cooking time is up, stir in 1 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese blend and chopped cilantro. Let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts into the mixture.
  • Prepare your burrito-sized tortillas by warming them slightly to make them pliable. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, top with pico de gallo, and additional cheese if desired. Roll them up tightly.
  • Serve your Crockpot Chicken Burritos with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream on the side for a complete meal. Enjoy every bite of these flavorful burritos!

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, use a spicier salsa or add jalapeños to the mixture.
