Dinner is easy to make with these Crock Pot Chicken Burritos! The burrito filling cooks in the crock pot and its ready to fill burritos at dinner time!

Crock Pot Chicken Burritos

Not much gets a Minnesota kid more excited than a snow day! Last week, my kids were really hoping that school would be canceled due to the cold weather and blizzard conditions. Unfortunately, they didn’t get a day off, but they were super happy that they got two late starts and early dismissal.

They blame the fact that they didn’t get a day off, even though the school in surrounding communities did, on their superintendent. The kids say that he used to live in Alaska, so he doesn’t get too worried about the weather in Minnesota. One of the days last week, I made Crock Pot Chicken Burritos for dinner and we love how they turned out.

Sprinkle with rice. Then, pour the chicken broth over the top of the rice. Gently stir together the rice, corn and beans, leaving the chicken on the bottom of the crock pot.

Note: Adding the rice to the crock pot makes it soft and a little mushy. If you are super picky about your rice, leave the rice and broth out of the crock pot and cook your rice separately.

Cook on low for 3 1/2 hours, stir the top layer of rice, corn and beans after 2 hours.

After 3 1/2 hours, mix everything together and check to see if the chicken is fully cooked. Continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes or until fully cooked. If there is too much liquid in the slow cooker, leave the lid off for the last 20-30 minutes.

Use the chicken burrito mixture to fill tortilla shells and top them with cheese, guacamole, salsa, sour cream and cilantro. We loved how these Crock Pot Chicken Burritos turned out! I warmed up some of the leftovers for lunch the next day and ate them with tortilla chips.

    Do you think if the chicken were frozen that this could cook all day while at work?? Would it help to cook the rice better? Any advice would be appreciated. 🙂

    This came out delicious, but the rice was completely raw. I drained the mixture and added some more broth to the liquid I drained, brought that to a boil and then added the chicken rice etc. To thr pot, reduced to simmer and covered for 15 minutes. Turned out great after that!

    I love slow cooker meals, especially simple ones like this! We don’t get many snow days here either, but we have had some school days cancelled because of extreme cold: -45 Celsius or colder! This would be perfect for these frigid days!

      Yes! That is what they do here. The superintendent told my daughter that if he can see the water tower next to his house, he isn’t cancelling school. Thanks Ashley!

      Yeah, but I heard that some schools are making kids be in class virtually from home, on snow days now! While I understand why the school wants that, it makes me sad for the kids. Thanks Heather!
