Crockpot Chicken Burrito Bowl

It's really kind of funny how I came across this recipe. I put into pinterest, WHAT can I make with chicken, rice, beans and tomatoes with LOTS of cheese via the slow cooker...and THIS is what I came up with. Who doesn't love burritos?! Why not make it in a crockpot? GENIUS! I changed the recipe some to make it a little healthier and 21 Day Fix Approved!
