RESTAURANT-STYLE LIGHT AND HEALTHY CHICKEN BURRITO
I love the way mexican restaurants make a chicken burrito, with mexican rice and shredded, juicy chicken, After some experiments I came quite close, however, I omit the refried beans, cheese and cream. This makes it a perfect pre-work-out food: I eat one every now and then before going for a 10 mile run! Works perfectly and doesn't give you that overstuffed feeling in the stomach. I usually do add some guacamole (see my guacemole recipe if you want to make it yourself). This way it is lighter and healthier, but no less tasty! Ofcourse you can always choose to add the refried beans, cheese and cream if you got your heart set on it!

CROCK POT SHREDDED CHICKEN BURRITOS
Easy and really tasty. Not the oridinary burrito. My husband and I tried making burritos a few different ways and both agreed that we love these the most. My husband pours some burrito sauce over his and eats it with a fork, while I wrap it and it eat with my hands.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts in crock pot with chicken broth and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours. They're done when you can shred them easily.
- Meanwhile, make a Spanish Rice. I use Rice-A-Roni.
- Shred chicken and save 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth in the crockpot. If you need more, just add water. Add shredded chicken back to broth.
- Add packet of burrito seasoning and can of refried beans to chicken mixture and stir.
- Heat through.
- Heat tortillas according to directions.
- Place some spanish rice on tortilla.
- Add some chicken over the rice, a scoop of black beans and some sour cream to taste.
- Roll burrito and enjoy! I use 2 tortillas so it doesn't break because I like to pick it up. My husband pours some burrito sauce from the crock pot over the top and eats with a fork.
