Green Chile Burritos

The coveted green chile burrito... My mom makes these all the time. Of course hers turn out way better than mine. She is genius. Here is what you'll need...
3 or 4 chicken breasts
2 cans of green chile enchilada sauce (I prefer Hatch brand)
1 small can of diced green chiles (not pictured)
diced green onion (not pictured)
tortillas
Cheese
beans for a side dish



Dump your sauce and chicken in the crock pot and cook for at least 4 hours (on high) or 6-8 hours (on low) you want to be able to shred the chicken.

When the chicken is done pull it out and shred it.

Dip a tortilla in the sauce and place it on a cookie sheet.

Fill it up with some shredded chicken shredded cheese and drizzle with sauce. Roll up your burrito.

Keep repeating this till you have your desired amount of burritos (remember you can use any leftover chicken for quesadillas, salads, or more burritos later). Top them off with some shredded cheese, diced green onion, and more sauce. Put them in the oven at 300 degrees to melt all the cheese... like 5-10 minutes..... just keep checking on them.

I like to serve my burritos with some beans, tortilla chips, and a nice green salad. These are a favorite at our house. For those of you with kids... just make them some cheese quesadillas because these are pretty spicey.

  2. we had something similar the other night. I always have a hard time to know what to have with it. i cooked some rice and put salsa in it and warmed it up it a frying pan, and had mexican rice. it was so easy and very good, if you like mexican rice that is.
