Another one of those great pinterest recipes where you just throw everything in the crock pot and forget about it! Come home to dinner! I love that. I found this great recipe, similar to Chipotle's Burrito Bowl at http://www.number-2-pencil.com/2014/10/01/slow-cooker-chicken-burrito-bowl/. I just adjusted the recipe to fit my family and what I had on hand at home!
