Fiesta Chicken Burritos Recipe

Reviewed on May. 02, 2013 by 14handsondeck

My family loves this recipe, and I do too! Nothing better than throw it in and forget it! I do drain the juice off before I add in the cream cheese. I like the mixture to be a little thicker. I make this a lot on vacation when we are out site seeing all day, come home, throw in the cream cheese get cleaned up and dinner is ready!!!

Grey goop. The appearance and texture of this recipe is far from appealing, but the flavor is pretty good. I recommend draining the tomatoes- unless you like your burritos extra sloppy. Maybe some rice would be a nice addition...

I might try again but without cream cheese. This was easy to make.

Loved this recipe! In addition to 2 fresh chicken breast halves I added a leftover grilled chicken breast just to get rid of it. I easily could have just used 1 breast half with that addition. I also cut back on the cumin, 3 Tbsp sounded like a lot and cumin is not high on our list of flavors. I used the Rotelle original along with the jalepeno (de-seeded) and it was was a good compromise for my give-me-fire hubby and my less-heat self. He added more red pepper flakes to his individual burrito and was happy.

Margaret, you have created a wonderful recipe. I only have 3 mouths to feed so I cut the incredients in half and it came out fantastic. I plan on adding the left over rotel and black beans to tonight's Chili.

I made this dish in the crock pot, and took it in to work. It tasted great and was so easy. It was excellent comfort food for a hard day!

This recipe was so easy to put together in the crock pot. The flavor was fantastic. My changes were to omit the jalapeno and the crushed red pepper flakes. I did add a 4oz can of diced green chilis. Finally, I used frozen whole kernal corn instead of canned, because that is what I had on hand. This will be a regular in our household.

We loved this. The chicken was moist, the flavor was not too spicy but still flavorful... I will definitely make it again!

My whole family enjoyed this. I left out the jalapenos, and we added sliced avacados to the toppings. Nice heat without being too much. It looked pretty liquid-y before adding the cream cheese, but once it melted, it was great- just served it with a slotted spoon.

I just made this earlier tonight, and it was very good. I didn't use the entire amount of cumin the recipe called for, but it was still very flavorful. My boyfriend was making yum noises as he was eating them, and he can be a little picky sometimes, so I will definitely be making this again!

My family is not picky and we eat a huge variety of foods. So, I was really surprised after such great reviews of this recipe to have every single person in my hating this recipe. I got a much better approval from my family when I substituted the can of tomatoes & all the seasons with a jar of salsa.

Umm... This was AMAZING! It was very creamy. I didn't have time to use a crock pot, so I just cooked the chicken on the stovetop and added the other ingredients like it says in the recipe. Yum, Yum, Yum! The only complaint I have is that I ate WAY too much! :)

With 3 kids in sports, always looking for a new slow cooker recipe and this one was a hit! Thinking Ro-Tel is already spicy enough, I left out the jalapenos but while the end product was delicious, it didn't have any heat. Will add the jalapenos next time. Also used only half the amount of cumin. Wish I'd seen the suggestion of adding green onions and cilantro before serving dinner...will definitely try that next time!

I made this for dinner tonight and we loved it! Even my picky 9 year old who hates veggies loved it ! The only thing that I changed was after stirring in the cream cheese I added some chopped green onions and cilantro! Delish and also don't be afraid to add the amount of cumin that this recipe calls for! Cumin is not spicy at all. My child never complained about this dish being spicy :) !

Love this recipe (and I usually hate slow cooker recipes). Did use less cumin and omitted jalepenos. Will definitely be making this again.

My family loved this dish! My husband really raved about it. He was still talking about it this morning. I did skip the jalapeno and used only about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cumin (3 tablespoons scared me). Also didn't have cayenne or red pepper flakes on hand, so I used generous dashes of regular red pepper which gave it plenty of heat. I know the family will want me to make this again, often. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this last night for the first time and it was delicious. The only thing I changed, was I did not add 3 Tablespoons of cumin. I thought that would be way too much, so I only used 3 teaspoons. Turned out very flavorful!

Delicious! I served them with diced red bell pepper, and sweet onions, and substituted fresh cilantro for the lettuce. I also dumped a can of condensed tomato soup, because I felt that the 10 ounce can of tomato/green Chile didn't offer enough tomato flavor. Big hit with the roomies. Arrriba!

Very tasty. I didn't have time to slow cook the chicken so I brushed it with taco seasoning and olive oil and baked for 40 min. I shredded the chicken in a food processor and added the ingred. to a skillet and cooked until the cr. cheese melted. I baked the burritos with 2c. salsa on top for 15 min. and added 1 1/2 c. mont/jack/cheddar cheese until melted. It was a big hit.

We really like this recipe! If you want to cut down on spice, use less cumin. Also I use frozen corn instead of canned and 14.5 oz can of tomatoes w/green chilies and left out the jalapeno pepper. We did notice that it was a little spicier the second time around but still like it the same.
