Chicken and Bean Burritos

A very easy meal to make. I have made this for a lunchtime playdate before and it was nice to not have any meal prep while visiting with a friend.

Chicken and Bean Burritos
Adapted from Slow Cooker Favorites Made Healthy, 2005

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (15oz) can pinto beans in chili sauce
1 (16oz.) bottle salsa with chipotle chile peppers
8 10” flour tortillas, warmed
1 ½ c. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Favorite burrito toppings: chopped tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, etc.

In a labeled gallon ziptop bag place the chicken breasts, beans, and salsa. Place in the freezer.

On cooking day, dump the contents of the bag into the crockpot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2 ½-3 hours. Before serving, shred the chicken with two forks and lightly mash the beans. Stir well. Serve in warmed tortillas with your favorite toppings.
