1
In a slow cooker, add water, bullion cube, taco seasoning & garlic all mixed together.

Top with chicken.

Low 6-7hrs, high 3-4.

Mine were semi frozen so I cooked them on high 5 hrs
5
Remove chicken & shred.

Pour all broth into large bowl & reserve.
7
Mash garlic in the bottom of crockpot & leave for now
8
Add chicken, beans, corn, rotel, onions, squeezed lime, fajita seasoning, cilantro plus enough broth to fill half way.
9
Just enough to keep it moist, but not too much to make a soup!
10
Now this needs to cook another hour or so in the slow cooker.
11
I did mine for 2.
12
I wanted all the flavors to be enhanced & come together!
13
This will also give you a chance to check if more seasonings need to be added.
14
Also, the reserved broth is handy if more needs to be added.
15
With a slotted spoon, scoop the mixture onto the tortilla, making sure the least amount of juice gets in the tortilla.
16
Sprinkle cheese on top.
17
You want to leave 3/4 to 1 inch on each end for accurate folding.
18
Once folded, add to a med high griddle or non-stick pan.
19
I add a tiny butter to get a crispy outer edge.
20
Flip burritos until golden on both sides.
21
These can be served with salsa, sour cream, guacamole or enjoyed the way they are!!

I hope you enjoy!
