Allrecipes' Shredded Roast Beef Burritos Recipe

This recipe came in my newsletter and it got added to the menu right away.

These were delicious, although next time I think I would stuff some Mexican rice in them.

canola or vegetable oil
1 small beef roast, trimmed and cut into chunks
1/2 onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 small (4 oz) can diced green chiles
1 1/2 T chili powder
1 1/2 t cumin
1 1/2 t garlic powder
1 1/2 t onion powder
4 burrito size (extra large) flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce

Heat a little oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Brown roast beef chunks.

Stir in the onion and cook about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic. Mix in tomatoes, chiles and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Add mixture to a slow cooker. Cover and cook over high heat 3-4 hours, or low 6-7 hours, or til meat is very tender. With a slotted spoon, remove meat from juices in cooker and set aside. At this point, you can shred the meat, but I found it wasn't even necessary as the meat was so tender it didn't even need it.

Place tortillas on a flat work surface. Add beef mixture to the center of each warm tortilla. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and lettuce. Fold over ends and sides to make a package.

At this point, I stuck them in the microwave to heat for a few seconds, but that is optional.

I served the burritos with salsa.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d886/d279/d746/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg
