Chicken thighs are Ree's secret ingredient for richer flavor. Since they can withstand long, slow cooking, a little bit of meat can go a long way in a big batch of soup or stew.
For the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken thighs with the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Add the chicken to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Top with the jar of salsa verde. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred with two forks. Return the chicken to the sauce and leave the slow cooker on warm.
For the burritos: Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Place the black beans into a small pot and heat through on the stove. Blacken the burrito shells over the open flame of the stove to give them a little extra flavor, if desired. Add a little rice and black beans to the burrito shells, then top with chicken. Add the desired toppings before rolling and enjoying.
