Crock Pot Monday: Chili Colorado Burritos


My poor, neglected blog! School has been keeping me swamped, exhausted, and Strep-ridden this year :( . Boo! But I'm going to try harder to share some of the delicious recipes we have been cooking at the Farque household! This is one of them. Of course I found it on Pinterest and it is super easy. The meat cooks all day in the crock pot so it's really tender. Then you assemble the burritos when you get home, melt the cheese, and voila! Easy Mexican food at your fingertips. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of stew meat or other beef cubed
- 20 ounces of red enchilada sauce
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 1/2 can of refried beans
- 5-7 burrito size flour tortillas
- 1 cup or so of shredded cheese
- 1/2 of an onion, chopped
- small handful of chopped cilantro

Directions:
1) Season the beef with garlic powder, a little Greek seasoning, and a little Mexican seasoning (or whatever you have). Go easy on the salt since you'll be adding 2 beef bouillon cubes to the mixture.
2) Add the beef, bouillon, enchilada sauce, onions, and cilantro to the crock pot and cook on low for 7 or 8 hours. Mine cooked for about 8 and the meat was perfect.
3) After the meat is cooked, use a slotted spoon to get it all out of the crock pot. Use two forks to shred the meat and then put it back in the juice.
4) Turn your broiler on. Put some beef, refried beans, a little juice from the crock pot, and cheese in the tortilla and roll it up. Cover the top with more juice and cheese. Put under the broiler unil the cheese is melted.
5) Voila!
