Author Foodtastic Mom

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 packets Taco Seasoning I used McCormick brand
  • 2 pkgs. 8 oz. each cream cheese
  • 1 can 15 oz. pinto beans, drained
  • juice of one-half lime
  • 8 burrito-sized tortillas
  • 2 c. 8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 T. vegetable oil

favorite Mexican toppings

  • salsa
  • sour cream
  • guacamole
  • sliced jalapeƱos

Instructions

  • Place the chicken, taco seasoning and cream cheese in the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. During the final hour, stir together, break-up/shred the chicken and stir in the beans and lime juice. Continue cooking until heated through.
  • To serve, place about 3/4 - 1 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of a tortilla and top with about 1/4 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Fold to seal in the filling.
  • Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium heat (I was able to cook three chimichangas at once in mine).
  • Turn the chimichangas to coat lightly in oil. Cook, starting with the seam side down, until all sides are nicely browned and the cheese inside is melted.
  • Serve immediately.
