Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet taco or burrito seasoning
  • 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese or Mexican cheese blend
  • 3 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
  • ½ cup minced onion
  • 1 cup prepared tomato salsa, for serving
  • Guacamole (optional), for serving
  • Lime wedges (optional), for serving

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chopped or shredded chicken and burrito or taco seasoning mix; toss to blend.
    2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken | 1 (1-ounce) packet taco or burrito seasoning
    • Try adding tablespoon or two of water or salsa when mixing the seasoning into the chicken — it helps the spices coat evenly and keeps the filling moist.
  • Spread the refried beans over the tortillas, dividing evenly among the 6 tortillas. Top each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of seasoned chicken, 1/3 cup of shredded cheese, and some chopped tomatoes and minced onions. Roll up, tucking the ends in to secure the filling.

  • Wrap each burrito in foil and arrange in a slow cooker, stacking if necessary. Cover and cook on HIGH for about 1 1/2 hours. Alternatively, place the wrapped burritos in a baking pan and heat in a 350°F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes (using the oven reduces the total cook time to about 25 minutes).
    • For a cheesy finish like the one pictured, unwrap the burritos after heating, place them seam-side down in a baking dish, top with extra shredded cheese and a spoonful of salsa, and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch them closely—broilers work fast!
  • Unwrap and serve with salsa, and add guacamole and lime wedges if desired.
