1x2x3x

• 1 pound chicken tenders or boneless breasts
• 1 pkg taco seasoning
• 1-16 oz jar salsa

• 3 cups shredded cheese I use a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar
• 8-12 inch sized tortillas
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• pinch of chopped cilantro
• juice of 1 lime

Garlic Lime Rice

• 2 cups cooked white rice I use long grain rice
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro or more if you like it
• Juice of 2 limes
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Pico De Gallo

• 3 Roma tomatoes cored and diced small
• 1 cup onion finely diced
• 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

 

• In a slow cooker add chicken, salsa and taco seasoning. Cook for 2 hours on high
• When chicken is done shred with two forks allowing it to mix with the juices. Add bean and cilantro and mix until combined.

For the Garlic Lime Rice

• In a large pot add butter and garlic, cook until fragrant about 1 minute. Add cooked rice and lime juice, cilantro and salt and mix until combined.

Pico De Gallo

• In a small bowl add tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, salt, lime juice and cilantro. mix until combined and set aside.
• Add some shredded chicken and rice, into the tortillas then add cheese (about 1/4 cup each) and Pico De Gallo. Tuck the sides in and roll the burrito up.
• Heat a skillet on medium low and add olive oil, add the wrapped burritos seam side down and heat for 4-5 minutes turning the burritos every minute so they don't burn. You just want the tortilla to get a little crispy and the cheese to melt. Serves 6-8
• Garnish with guacamole and sour cream

Notes

**Notes** You can keep the burritos wrapped individually in saran wrap in the refrigerator for a quick meal. Throw them in the microwave for a minute before crisping up in the pan to make sure they are hot all the way through.
