Fiesta Chicken Burritos Crockpot - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 cup whole kernel corn, frozen
    1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
    1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
    3 tablespoons ground cumin
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1 dash cayenne pepper
    1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese
    8 flour tortillas, warmed (8 inches)
    nonstick cooking spray
    Optional toppings
    sour cream
    shredded cheddar cheese
    shredded lettuce
    chopped tomato
Preparation
    Use nonstick spray to spray the interior of 5-6 qt crockpot. (I actually use the crockpot liners for easy cleanup.).
    If doing, season salt and pepper each side of the chicken.
    Lay raw chicken in bottom of crock.
    In medium size bowl, stir together the corn, beans, tomatoes, green chilis and spices. Pour over chicken.
    Cook on low 4 to 5 hours until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
    Pull out chicken and shred using 2 forks. (Careful meat is very hot).
    Return chicken to crock pot and stir to combine.
    Place 8 oz of cream cheese on top of mixture and let melt about 15 minutes. Then stir to completely combine.
    Let the whole mixture set for another 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
    Warm tortilla. Add about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture and roll/fold up burrito.
    Top with your favorite toppings.
