Shredded Beef Burrito Crock Pot Recipe
Looking for a inexpensive, yummy meal? Well, look to the Southwest! I love Mexican food, and so does my family. My ex-mother-in-law gave it to me. She was married to a Latino man who’s mother showed her how to make all kinds of wonderful Latin delicacies.

If you have a Crock Pot and don’t use it, you’re missing out! Cheaper cuts of meat can be absolutely delish if cooked long enough in a slow cooker. Don’t miss our beef roast buying guide for tips on getting the most for your money, and what to avoid!
No Beans About It!
Be sure to use the right beans! Because, they can be difficult to find in some areas. There are various brands, but the whole pinto beans flavored with jalapeños are best for this recipe.
My MIL was very clear: you MUST use Ranch Style beans. So, I wrongly thought that was a type of beans (and, technically it is), but she was referring to the brand name. Turns out, I can’t find those in Wisconsin and so I’ve substituted with La Costena without a problem.
