Did I say Slow Cooker Burritos?  Yup. The flavor of the chipotle beef is awesome and the prep work is really easy.  Add to that the delicious layers of guacamole, salsa, cheese, rice and beans. Oh sweet baby Jesus. This recipe will definitely be made again and again.

Can you believe there are only a few weeks of winter left? And that means only a few more weeks of low and slow Mondays. I may cry. My slow cooker and I have had some major bonding moments and I am scrambling to narrow down the dozens of recipes I still want to test out to only 4 more.

That or I may just continue slow cooker Monday's through the spring. One recipe I knew I had to make was this beef filling. First, Mexican food is one of my go-to's. Second... no really, I just love Mexican.

Slow Cooker Burritos

Whenever we go out to eat, it's never Mexican. Unless I can bribe a friend to suggest it as the location. That's the only way I ever get Mexican. Or if I make tacos, or Gringo enchiladas. We may need a relationship counselor. He suffers through it though when I make things like this at home. And by suffer, I let him because I was in heaven!

The flavor of the beef is awesome and the prep work is really easy.  Add to that the delicious layers of guacamole, salsa, cheese, rice and beans. Oh sweet baby Jesus. This recipe will definitely be made again and again. Now I'm wondering how can I sneak four more Mexican slow cooker recipes into the round up.  (think he'll notice?)...

10 hours 10 minutes
Serves: 8 Burritos

Ingredients

For the Beef Filling

  • 2 onions - minced
  • cup chili powder
  • 3 tablespoon canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce - minced
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 6 garlic cloves - minced
  • 1 jalapeno - stemmed, seeded, and minced
  • 1 tbs tomato paste
  • 1 tbs ground cumin
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 3 lbs boneless beef chuck - trimmed and halved
  • Salt and pepper

Kickin' Burritos

  • 8 large tortillas
  • guacamole
  • salsa
  • beef filling
  • 8 oz shredded cheese
  • 14 oz black beans
  • 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions

For the Beef Filling

  • In a heat proof bowl, combine the onion with the ingredients through the cumin and microwave until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir the tomato sauce, sugar, and liquid smoke into the slow cooker with the onion mixture.
  • Season the beef with salt and pepper on both sides. Place in slow cooker and spoon sauce over top. Cover and cook on low for 9 to 11 hours.
  • Transfer the beef to a bowl and discard any excess fat. Shred the beef with two forks.
  • Skim any fat from the surface of the liquid remaining in the slow cooker. Ladle 1 cup, or more if needed, into the shredded beef to moisten and add flavor.

Kickin' Burritos

  • Lay the tortilla on a flat surface. 
  • Spread an even layer of guacamole, salsa, cheese, black beans, rice, and a large portion of shredded beef. 
  • Fold the ends up and wrap. 
  • If you are feeling feisty, toast the burrito in a preheated skillet over medium heat with a weight (like a plate) pressing down on top until golden. Flip and repeat.
  • Serve with sour cream and hot sauce, if desired. Live Mas.

    I can't wait for winter to be over - helllllllo running outside again! And have I ever told you how much I love that you call him "handsome" freaking adorable!

  3. The Mom Chef ~ Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time says:

    Yes, yes, continue slow cooking through the spring. I'll be right here with you. What you need to do in order to eat Mexican out is be the driver. If you're at the wheel, you get to go where you want.

  4. I do not know why he doesn't like Mexican! How can he not like it? We eat it here all the time, one of our favorite things to eat at home and out! This recipe sounds wonderful, and something my family would love.

  5. Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says:

    I want it to be warm again. But I will take comfort in this kind of food in the time being 🙂

  6. You won't mind if I start showing up at your house on slow cooker nights, will you?? 🙂 This looks amazing!!

  7. Isabelle @ Crumb says:

    These look AMAZING. It reminds me a little of a slow cooker taco filling my mom used to make, though this recipe sounds way more flavourful... which, obviously, is a huge selling point for me! 🙂
    Seriously, I am all over this like a fat kid on a burrito... I might even stop by the store to pick up some beef chuck on the way home.

  8. amanda @ fake ginger says:

    I stopped taking him serious when you told me he didn't like hot dogs. Anyway, this sounds amazing. I have this cookbook but somehow overlooked this recipe?! WTF.

  9. Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts says:

    Wow - these look amazing! I wish I had this for dinner tonight. I have some different cuts of beef in the freezer, going to have to go check out what I have left, because this needs to get made!

  10. Awwww YAHHHH! I'm digging these in a big way! I think I'm starting to bond with your slow cooker as well! Like Isabelle, I'm definitely considering where I can find some beef chuck!

  11. Julie @ Table for Two says:

    Omg, I'm like drooling. These look SO good. I just want to sink my teeth into these!!

  12. Nami | Just One Cookbook says:

    Here in SF area, I am afraid spring has come! I hope we won't get cold weather back again after all the cherry blossoms and flowers are blossoming. However, I can eat slow cooked food any time! After all it gets chilly at night and I'm turning my heater on under the desk too right now. 😀 This chipotle beef burritos look so good. My cooking will be a lot easier when I buy a slow cooker (instead of using a pot to cook for a long time). You have so many amazing slow cooker recipes, Kita!

  13. RavieNomNoms says:

    WOW, delicious!

  14. Aimee @ ShugarySweets says:

  15. Jennie @themessybakerblog says:

    I'm now craving one of these delicious, meaty burritos. I won't stop thinking about these until I get one. Yum!

  16. Christy @ My Invisible Crown says:

    This looks absolutely bonkers! Luckily for me my Handsome loves Mexican as much as I do. I think I'm really half Mexican and my mom just never mentioned it.

  17. Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says:

    Who says you can't have slow cooker Mondays past winter? I say keep it going!

  20. This looks fantastic - I love shredded beef burritos - YUM!

  21. Jennie @themessybakerblog says:

    I made this big hunk of beef on Monday. It. Was. Amazing! Run to your kitchen and make it ASAP!

  22. Do you need liquid smoke? I can't get it easily here.

    1. No, you don't need it. I finally broke down and ordered a large container from Amazon though, because I couldn't find it in my local markets. It will last forever and was worth the $10 if you are still wanting to try it.
