• Pour mixture over chicken & cover
• Cook on high for 5 hrs or on low for 7 to 8. Shred chicken in the crockpot and mix it well.
• Wash and chop the cilantro. Mix the cilantro with 2 cups of water and pour in the pan for cooking the rice. Add two more cups of water, the salt, Salsa Verde, and onion. Bring to a boil. Stir in the rice in the boiling water. Cover and turn down heat to very low; steam for 30 minutes. Makes about 10 servings.
• Put it all together with Toppings:
• Cook whole wheat burrito tortillas on non-greased skillet 10-15 seconds on each side
• Put Chicken, Cilantro Rice, black beans, avocado, lowfat cheese, cilantro, tomatoes, (I also added red pepper, green onions and spinach) inside of tortilla.
• Add anything else you like (fat free sour cream, salsa, etc.)
• Roll up your tortilla and eat your delicious and healthy Cafe Rio Burrito!

Steps:

• Chop onion and garlic small. In a food processor, chop cilantro (I remove stems). Set aside.
• In a 4 cup measurer squeeze lime so that all of the juice is extracted. Fill the container with water until it equals 4 cups. (you only want 4 cups liquid total). Place liquid in a sauce pan, add boulion and bring to a boil.
• When liquid comes to a boil, add onion, cilantro and rice. Cover and cook 20 minutes, or as long as instructed on the rice package.
• If you can't find a large lime you may want to do 1 1/2 limes. I tried 2 limes and it was too much.
