Slow Cooker Baked Chicken Burritos

My Sous Chef inspecting the spices

When I first ran across this recipe on Laaloosh I was wondering how someone would slow cook a burrito. Well only the filling is slow cooked, it is then wrapped and covered in enchilada sauce and a small amount of cheese and baked. These are packed with so much flavor I am trying to figure out when I can make them again!

Ingredients

1 lb Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts

1 - 15 oz can Diced Tomatoes

1 Large Green Pepper, Sliced Thinly

1 - 4 oz can Chopped Green Chilies
1 can Jalapeno Infused Black Olives

1 Medium Red Onion, Sliced Thinly
4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Packet Taco Seasoning*

8 Tortillas
1 - 15 oz Can Enchilada Sauce
1 c Reduced Fat Mexican Cheese

* I created my own taco seasoning because I don't like the amount of sodium in normal mixes. I will list that recipe below.

Directions

1. Place Chicken, Tomatoes, Green Pepper, Green Chilies, Black Olives, Onions, Garlic, and Taco Seasoning in the Slow Cooker. Cook for 5-6 Hours on Low.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease an 11" x 13" glass pan with a nonfat cooking spray.
3. Shred Chicken with 2 forks and return to slow cooker. Drain off excess liquid.
4. To assemble the burritos place about 3/4 cup of the filling down the center of each tortilla.
5. Top the filling with about 1 T of Cheese.
6. Fold up the burrito and place in prepared glass pan. Repeat with remaining Tortillas.
7. Top with the Enchilada Sauce and remaining Cheese.
8. Place in oven for 12 minutes until cheese begins to bubble.
