Crock Pot Chicken & Bean Burritos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs (may use breasts)
    2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans black beans, drained
    1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
    1 tablespoon cumin
    1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
    1/4 cup tequila or 1/4 cup beer
    0.5 (16 ounce) package frozen corn
    2 tablespoons vinegar
    1 (15 1/2 ounce) can refried beans
    10 burrito-size whole wheat tortillas
    3/4 cup taco sauce
    1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
    sour cream (to garnish)
    sliced scallion (to garnish)
Preparation
    In a crock pot add all ingredients EXCEPT vinegar, refried beans, tortillas, taco sauce, and cheddar.
    Cook on low 6-8 hours.
    Add vinegar and shred chicken with forks (I find a potato masher works well too).
    In two 9x13 baking dishes spread half of the taco sauce and spread evenly.
    Assemble burritos by smearing a tortilla down the middle with refried beans. Add approximately 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture, roll up and place seam-down in baking dish. Repeat until baking dish is full (usually 5 burritos in each dish for me).
    Pour remaining taco sauce over burritos, sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
    Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
    I love making a double batch of this and save the \"guts\" in a ziploc in the freezer for another day.
