Ingredients:
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 carton (26.46 oz) chopped tomatoes or 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 package (11 oz) Old El Paso™ Flour Tortillas for Burritos (8 Count), heated as directed on package
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
  • Prepare the slow cooker by spraying it with cooking spray. Combine onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, and oil in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on High heat setting for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the tomatoes with a gentle stir. Place the chicken on top of the flavorful tomato mixture, then generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook on High heat setting for 3 to 4 hours. Stir in black beans. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Transfer the succulent chicken to a plate, and effortlessly shred it using two forks. Gently return the seasoned chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Place a generous amount of the flavorful chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and fresh cilantro. Fold the bottom third of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the sides towards the center, leaving the top open for a beautiful presentation. Use toothpicks to secure, if needed. Enjoy your delicious filled tortillas!
