Slow Cooker Beef Burritos

Submitted by AZRT8871

"This recipe originally from Cooking Light. I don't use taco seasoning, just a mix of my own to make it spicier, and to control salt content. I like to use dried chipotle powder in the rub, and add a chopped canned chipotle in sauce to the meat before cooking. Leftover canned chipotles in sauce freeze well, put 1 or 2 chiles to a baggie to use in chiles, mexican recipes etc. This recipe also good with black beans instead of refried."

I had some London broil to use and came across this recipe. It was very good. A little dry, but I but the strained broth back with the shredded beef and it was great!

Produces soft, flavorful meat that goes great with the creamy beans. I really like this recipe, and leftovers were great!

Nice easy way to make burritos. Just pop it in forget about and serve it at dinner. Great recipe.

I didn't use the London broil - just stew beef - it's cheaper and it doesn't take as long to cook. But this was wonderful! I'm going to make it for my mother's birthday.
