This has quickly become a favorite in our family, at least for my husband and myself. The kids pick at it, but they pick at everything. I had better success giving them the beans not wrapped in a tortilla and they enjoyed it then. Even after having had this meal half a dozen times I still crave it.
Over the half dozen times I've made it I've added more beans, deciding we like that part far more than the chicken, though the chicken is a nice enough addition I won't try it without, and cutting the cream cheese in half (I originally used a whole 8oz package). This meal is easily customizeable if you prefer more or less of anything.
- 2-4 cans of black beans
- 1lb of chicken (optional/variable)
- 4oz cream cheese
-1 jar salsa verde
-Whole wheat tortillas
-Burrito fixings
Directions:
I'll tell you how I do it and you can make changes as you see fit.
Rinse the beans in a colander before adding to the crockpot. I currently use four cans. Add chicken. This can be done raw, but I prefer cooking and shredding beforehand because I find it easier. Cut cream cheese into cubes and add. Add salsa verde. You do not need to use the whole jar. Use as much or as little as you wish. I generally use about half the jar, myself. Cook on low until dinner time. I generally turn it down to warm after about 4 hours.
Wrap in whole wheat tortillas with a little lettuce and some sour cream and gobble them up.
