Ingredients:

  • 500g chicken breasts
  • ½ salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1½ cups refried beans
  • ¼ cup water
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups Mexican rice
  • 1 cup corn (canned)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Nacho cheese sauce

Instructions:

  • Season the chicken breast pieces with the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and dried oregano.
  • Add chicken breast to the Crock-Pot and cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the Crock-Pot and stir. Cook until onion is translucent.
  • Add the refried beans, water and stir everything together.
  • Warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds. Warming them up simply makes them more pliable and easy to fold.
  • To assemble tortillas, layer them with rice, chicken filling, corn, cheese and then fold them up burrito style. You should have enough ingredients to make 8 burritos.
  • Toast them in the oven for 10 minutes, wrapped in foil, or pan fry over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese melts.
  • Serve with salsa and sour cream.
