Fiesta Chicken Burritos

This recipe is a creative twist on traditional chicken burritos. The first time I made this recipe my parents and my sister's family joined us for dinner. The burritos won rave reviews. They're simple to prepare using the slow cooker - one of my favorite kitchen aids!


1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1-15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
1-15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1-10 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
3 T ground cumin
1 t salt
1 t paprika
½ t pepper
1-8 oz. package fat-free cream cheese, cubed
8 flour tortillas
Optional toppings sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, guacamole and salsa

Place chicken in a greased 4-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the corn, beans, tomatoes and seasonings; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender.

Remove chicken; cool slightly. Shred and return to the slow cooker. Stir in cream cheese. Cover and cook 15 minutes longer or until heated through. Spoon ¾ c chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla; add toppings of your choice. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Makes 8 generous servings.
