Pinterest Series: Smothered Chicken Burritos

Smothered Baked Chicken Burritos AKA "skinny chimichangas" are restaurant delicious without all the calories! made super easy by stuffing with the BEST slow cooker Mexican chicken and then baked to golden perfection and smothered in most incredible cheesy green chili sour cream sauce.:



My Turn: 
These were actually REALLY good! I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but I'm trying to be more open to things. These didn't have the super Mexican taste or anything. I can't describe the taste it was just delicious and savory. I have people wanting me to make them again. So this recipe was a success, it will be made again. The nice thing is that the recipe makes a lot, so you can freeze them and have some later and they're still really good. 

This was pretty easy. Just dump all the ingredients in and don't worry about it for a few hours. I made it around 11 in the morning and it was done by about 4.


Then I filled the tortillas and baked them. Making the sauce was the hard part. The first time I tried it burned and the second time I guess it didn't get hot enough so the cheese had a hard time melting. So I kept playing with the temperatures and it finally turned out. Also I didn't have enough green chiles, so there were only chiles in the chicken, but not in the sauce.
