I'm addicted to the lunch that I've been having this week. I'm not 100% sure it's legal to call it a burrito, maybe its a taco. I don't know, but this is absolutely delicious and you need to try it. I used my fall apart fork tender salsa chicken recipe for this, and although you can use any chicken, I can guarantee it won't taste as amazing.
P.S. Trader Joe's has the best Lite Shredded Mozzarella I've ever tasted. It melts really well, and does not sacrifice flavor!
Salsa Chicken Burrito
1 whole wheat tortilla (I used Joseph's Flax Tortilla)
1/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese (I used Trader Joe's Lite Shredded Mozzarella)
1 serving Slow Cooked Salsa Chicken
Cilantro
Dollop of Greek yogurt (great healthy substitute for sour cream!)
Raw veggies of choice (if desired)
1. Place the cheese on top of your tortilla and place the tortilla on tin foil. Cook under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese gets melty (this happens quick- keep your eye on it!).
2. Add the chicken, fresh cilantro, and top with the Greek yogurt. Fold up and devour!

Slow Cooked Salsa Chicken
I had always loved the idea of slow cookers, but never purchased one. So when I saw one on sale at Target for $15.99, I thought, "Why not?". I saw a few people on Instagram slow cooking chicken with salsa, so I thought it would be an easy recipe for my first slow cooking experience. The finished product was above and beyond my expectations. Not only was it incredibly easy and flavorful, but the chicken literally fell apart with my fork. Three ingredients, barely any prep, and it cooks itself. IT CANNOT BE SIMPLER!
Best chicken I've had in a LONG time. I served mine taco/burrito style, but this would also be great with brown rice and a vegetable.
Slow Cooked Salsa Chicken
4 (4 oz) chicken breasts
1/2 jar salsa (I used Newman's Own)
1/2 packet taco seasoning (I used low-sodium)
1. Season the chicken evenly with the taco seasoning. Place in your slow cooker. Add the salsa and and about 1/4 cup water.
2. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours. That's it!
