directions
- Place chicken on a cutting board and chop into bite-sized strips. Place in a crockpot on high.
- Stir in the broth, onion, garlic, jalapenos, corn, salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, lime juice, oregano, and cilantro.
- Simmer on high for 5 hours.
- Remove chicken from crockpot and shred with two forks; and place back into crock pot.
- Place sliced red and green pepper into crock pot, cover and cook another 30 minutes (we still like to have a little crispness to our peppers so if you want them softer cook longer)
- Place equal portions of chicken mixture in the center of the tortillas. Sprinkle with whatever toppings you prefer, such as diced tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce and cheese.
- Fold burrito up 2/3 of the way to the other side over the chicken mixture. Fold sides in towards the center.

Great flavor and very easy. I did this on the stove and had dinner on the table quickly. Thanks! -
This recipe is definitely a keeper! It's perfect for hot summer days, since it doesn't heat up your kitchen at all. It's also very easy to make. Thanks for a great recipe! -
This is a delicious recipe-my family enjoyed this. In addition to the chicken, I made some refried beans to add to the burrito, making chicken and bean burritos. It makes a great meal with the chicken and all of the veggies. Thank you DoubleA's Mom for sharing your recipe. -
My kids love burritos and this recipe made a great burrito. I did not use the bell peppers (personal preference) but followed the recipe otherwise. The chicken was very flavorful and made a great burrito. Made for PAC Spring '09.

I am a stay at home mom of two wonderful little boys, Alex and Andrew. Cooking and Baking are my two favorite hobbies, and it's a good thing because I do it a lot!! My husband can be somewhat picky so when I find a recipe that he likes, it immediately goes into my "keeper" file. I'm a big believer in cooking healthy meals that are both good for you AND delicious. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good dessert, as you can see by my chocolate marshmallow brownie recipe!!! But everyone deserves to splurge every now and then. It's just all about moderation.
I also enjoy staying fit by doing aerobics and yoga. I enjoy reading, hanging out with my family, boating and riding my bicycle.
