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.

Chicken Enchilada Skillet

I LOVE Mexican food so when I ran across this recipe on Emily Bites I had to try it. I combined it with a corn soup to complete the meal. I will post that recipe later. I made the soup yesterday and chilled it overnight for today. Today I prepped all the ingredients before I started cooking to make a quick easy cooking process. The Enchilada Skillet is 8 points plus for 1/6 of the skillet.
