Serves: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (just over a pound)
• 1-2 Tablespoons homemade taco seasoning or 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 10-16 oz of salsa (or you can use jarred, I like Herdez)
• ½ cup frozen corn, optional
• Optional
• Burrito size or taco size tortillas
• Tortilla chips
• Shredded cheese (I use a Mexican blend or pepper jack)
• Salsa
• Sour cream
• Lettuce
• Rice (I used Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Santa Fe Ready Rice)

Instructions

1. Cut chicken into large pieces and put into the crock pot.
2. Sprinkle with taco seasoning, top with salsa & frozen corn.
3. Cover & let cook for 4-5 hours on high.
4. Stir it up then shred with a fork. Mine fell apart really easily.
5. Assemble any way you want. My favorite was putting some chicken, rice, sour cream, cheese & salsa into the middle of the burrito, mix it up, then wrap it and grill for a couple minutes on each side.
