Steps:

  • Place chicken on a cutting board and chop into bite-sized strips. Place in a crockpot on high.
  • Stir in the broth, onion, garlic, jalapenos, corn, salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, lime juice, oregano, and cilantro.
  • Simmer on high for 5 hours.
  • Remove chicken from crockpot and shred with two forks; and place back into crock pot.
  • Place sliced red and green pepper into crock pot, cover and cook another 30 minutes (we still like to have a little crispness to our peppers so if you want them softer cook longer)
  • Place equal portions of chicken mixture in the center of the tortillas. Sprinkle with whatever toppings you prefer, such as diced tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce and cheese.
  • Fold burrito up 2/3 of the way to the other side over the chicken mixture. Fold sides in towards the center.

Tips:

  • Prep your chicken in advance: Marinate or season your chicken breasts overnight or for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite veggies in the burrito filling. Some popular choices include bell peppers, onions, corn, black beans, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If necessary, cook them in batches.
  • Shred the chicken before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks or use a hand mixer on low speed. This will make it easier to fill the burritos.
  • Keep the burritos warm: Wrap the cooked burritos in aluminum foil or place them in a保温袋 (insulated bag) to keep them warm until serving.
