Sorry the only pic I got was the leftovers.
Last weekend we went over to a friends house for dinner and she made Shredded Chicken Burritos. These are very reminiscent of the burritos you might get at Chipotle's. She served them on tortillas with your choice of sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, rice, corn and salsa. Talk about filling. It is so good my very picky daughter wanted me to make it the very next day. But, I waited one week, and then made it. This recipe made enough to serve at least 8 people.
Crock Pot Shredded Chicken for Burritos or Tacos
adapted from Amy Gonzales
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders
1 can diced tomatoes (I used rotel)
1 pack taco seasoning (I used 1/2 because of using rotel)
Put in crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours. Shred chicken in crock pot using two forks. Serve with condiments of your choice.

I was surfing around and found this quiz over at MamaDB's website. It is mostly true!
