Method
Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker and add the garlic salt, taco seasoning packet, hatch green chilis, diced chipotle peppers, lime juice, mozzarella, pepper jack cheese, pico de gallo, cilantro, cooked rice, and tortillas.
Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
While the chicken cooks, blend the cottage cheese, taco seasoning packet, red enchilada sauce, diced chipotle peppers, tomato salsa, and fat free milk until smooth to make the Chipotle Queso sauce.
Shred the cooked chicken and mix it with the mozzarella, pepper jack cheese, Chipotle Queso sauce, pico de gallo, and cilantro until well combined.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken shreds easily and is evenly mixed through the creamy filling.
Assemble the burritos by placing the rice and chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll and wrap tightly.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The tortilla stays closed around the filling when rolled tightly.
