Slow Cooker Chicken Burritos image

I made this recipe up by taking some chicken and some basic Mexican spices and throwing them all together for burrito night. It turned out great so we have them frequently.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1 cup frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin slices
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin slices
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
6 flour tortillas (10-inch)
ripe tomatoes
sour cream (I use reduced fat)
lettuce
monterey jack cheese

Steps:

Place chicken on a cutting board and chop into bite-sized strips. Place in a crockpot on high.
Stir in the broth, onion, garlic, jalapenos, corn, salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, lime juice, oregano, and cilantro.
Simmer on high for 5 hours.
Remove chicken from crockpot and shred with two forks; and place back into crock pot.
Place sliced red and green pepper into crock pot, cover and cook another 30 minutes (we still like to have a little crispness to our peppers so if you want them softer cook longer)
Place equal portions of chicken mixture in the center of the tortillas. Sprinkle with whatever toppings you prefer, such as diced tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce and cheese.
Fold burrito up 2/3 of the way to the other side over the chicken mixture. Fold sides in towards the center.
