Spoon the burrito filling into the center of each tortilla. Top each burrito with 2 tablespoons of the remaining cheese (or more if you like!) and 2 tablespoons pico.

➔ Pro Tips:

 

  1. For extra flavor, you can add a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies to the Crockpot mixture.
  2. To make the chicken even more tender, you can marinate it in the salsa mixture for a few hours before cooking.
  3. If you prefer spicier food, you can add a diced jalapeño pepper to the Crockpot mixture.
  4. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

 

➔ Notes:

 

This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd.

If you don’t have a Crockpot, you can cook the chicken mixture in a large pot on the stove over medium heat for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
