Slow Cooker Beef Burritos
Description
The Slow Cooker Beef Burritos recipe centers on chuck roast cubes browned and slow-cooked with onion, poblano, jalapeño, garlic, and red enchilada sauce until the beef is fork-tender. After shredding, the beef is moistened with reserved sauce for richness and combined with warm refried beans.
The filling is placed into flour tortillas and wrapped before arranging them seam-side down in a baking dish. The burritos are topped with enchilada sauce and shredded Monterey jack cheese, then baked to meld flavors and melt the cheese thoroughly. The slow cooking creates tender meat with a mingling of smoky, mild heat from the peppers, complemented by the creamy beans and melty cheese.
These burritos can be served with typical toppings like sour cream, diced fresh tomato, and chopped cilantro to add freshness and brightness. This recipe offers a practical way to prepare multiple burritos at once, ideal for feeding a group or meal prepping.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chuck roast cubed, or stewing beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 poblano pepper chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño chopped
- 1 (19 ounce each) can Red Enchilada Sauce
- 1 (16 ounce each) can refried beans
- 8 (12-inch each) flour tortillas
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
Optional Toppings
- sour cream
- tomato diced, fresh
- cilantro chopped, fresh
Instructions
- In a large pan brown beef cubes with oil. Place in crockpot with onion, poblano pepper, jalapeno, and garlic and cover with enchilada sauce. Cook on high 4 hours or low 7-8 hours.
- Once beef is fork tender, remove from slow cooker with a fork and shred.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and remove all onions and peppers from sauce and add about ½ cup of the sauce to the beef, just until moistened. Meanwhile, heat refried beans on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Lay tortillas out on the counter and evenly divide hot refried beans and beef mixture in the center of each. Wrap tortillas (if you don't know how, most packages of tortillas will have directions on wrapping).
- Place the wrapped tortillas seam side down in a 9x13 pan. Top with sauce from slow cooker and cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.
- Serve with desired toppings.
