Lightly spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle them evenly with taco seasoning, then pour the salsa over the top.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to combine with the salsa mixture.
Add the black beans and stir to heat through, about 10 minutes.
Warm the refried beans in the microwave or on the stovetop until spreadable, to make assembling the burritos easier.
Prepare your burrito assembly station by laying out the tortillas, refried beans, shredded chicken mixture, and shredded cheese.
To assemble, spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans onto the center of a tortilla. Add about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture and top with 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date and contents.
To reheat frozen burritos, remove the foil, place the burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, bake foil-wrapped burritos in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 30-40 minutes.
