Slow Cooker Chile Colorado Burritos – stew meat slow cooked in a homemade enchilada sauce – wrap meat in tortillas and top with cheese to serve. OMG! AMAZING! We always double the recipe for leftovers.

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and I thought it sounded delicious.  This was so simple – stew meat slow cooked in enchilada sauce.  I like to make my own enchilada sauce, but feel free to use 2 cans of store bought enchilada sauce if you are pressed for time.  I whipped up the enchilada sauce the night before and threw everything in the crock pot before I left for work in the morning.  It only took about 5 minutes to have dinner on the table when I got home from work.  You can serve this with some refried beans and/or Mexican rice. This was one of the most delicious burritos that we’ve ever eaten.  Chicken Legs absolutely loved this.  He wanted to eat the whole batch himself!  (He didn’t, but he wanted to!)
