This is one of my favorite things Sean will cook for me. Well, he used to cook it, until I learned how 
Since there isn’t a real recipe, it took me a bit to learn. All my cooking experience comes from baking, where you have to follow a recipe closely. Cooking is more abstract, and I’m starting to ‘get it’. Of course the more you cook, the easier it gets
A slow cooker book just happened to catch my eye yesterday at BJs, and when I opened it up, it ended up on the page with this Thai Chicken recipe .. which I’m a big fan of Pad Thai chicken at the moment .. so today I’m going to give it a shot ..
Here’s the original recipe from Fix-It and Forget-It: 5 Ingredient Favorites.
Optional:
Now … I actually used 4 skinless chicken breasts, that are frozen .. because that’s what I had in the freezer. I also used just under a half of a cup of peanut butter .. because I thought 1/4 cup wasn’t enough, and 2 Tbsp of soy sauce for the same reason. I added the ginger, and used medium salsa. I put everything in at 11am this morning on high, and I’m planning to switch to low in an hour or 3 .. just going to do a little bit of research first. Hopefully tonight I’ll have pictures and a review for you guys!

UPDATE: Okay … the chicken cooked almost perfectly, just fell apart. But the flavor of everything.. well .. it kinda tasted like Mexican food, like refried beans. I blame the salsa. Maybe I cooked it too long, but I didn’t taste the soy, ginger, or lime at all .. and very little peanut butter, even though it sure looked like it was all peanut butter. I’d like to find out what the real thai ingredient is that the salsa is supposed to replace .. I’m sure that would make a big difference. Everything smelled great when it started cooking .. just think it might’ve cooked too long.
UPDATE #2: Sean loved it.
Simple, get a pound+ of ground beef (I like more than a pound, about 1.25lb) Brown in frying pan, add burrito seasoning. We use El Rio, hard to find but good. If you can’t find, Taco seasoning works. Follow instructions on package. When it starts to boil add 1/2 a can of refried beans, stir in and make smooth. Cook for ten minutes (per instructions) this helps the filling get firm. Pre heat oven to 350
Get Burrito size flour tortilla, spoon about 3-4 tablespoons in the lower half and roll once, fold in the sides and finish rolling. Continue until finished with mixture. Put in pan, cover with salsa and put in oven for about 6 minutes, remove and cover with cheese (Mexican mix)
Set oven to broil. Meanwhile chop some lettuce, green onions, whatever other toppings you want. Place cheese covered burritos in oven and watch the cheese melt, remove when ever you feel the cheese is the way you like it. Me, I like to let it get brown edges.
Remove and serve with sour cream (Yum), guacamole is good also, lettuce and onions.
