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!)

2 lb stew meat

½ cup of tomato sauce

½ tsp garlic powder
-
3 Tbsp chili powder

3 Tbsp all-purpose flour

-
Make enchilada sauce. In a medium sauce pan, whisk together tomato sauce, Caldo de Tomate, garlic powder, chili powder, flour and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Place stew meat in 6-quart slow cooker. Cover with enchilada sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours.

Made these tonight for friends coming over and they turned out great! We're in Texas, so I easily found the caldo de tomate at the Hispanic grocery store (Fiesta). Thanks for the delicious recipe!
I have checked at Publix, Winn Dixie, World Market and Target- no luck. I bought the Goya SOFRITO Tomato cooking base, but not sure if it will work?
I'm having a hard time finding the Knorr's Caldo de Tomate. Can you all post the substitutions you made? Would Whole Foods have it? I haven't checked there yet.
I made these Friday, they turned out great…didn't find Knorr's, but a similar product, I assume, just in another brand. I will definitely make these again. I used London Broil, still somewhat froze, covered it in the enchilada sauce, set it to low about 8:30am, turned it up that night to high for about 2 hours, and it was incredibly tender and tasty.
Thanks for the recipe.
I am so making these! DROOL! There is a restaurant here that serves Steak Colorado enchiladas that are spicy heaven
Was the beef stew meat easy to shred after 8 hours in the crock pot? Can't wait to try this over the weekend!
Carrie – the meat just fell apart! It was very tender.
Teresa – the Knorr's Caldo de Tomate is in the Mexican food section of the grocery store. It is a tomato/chicken bouillon. It is great for Mexican sauces and rice.
Angee – the homemade enchilada sauce is life changing! You will never use enchilada sauce from the can again!
Isn't it amazing? I also tried this when I found the recipe on Pinterest. I used Knorr's gel boullion and it was amazing!! I am anxious to try your homemade enchilada sauce!
This looks awesome and sounds really simple.
that sauce really looks good.
I prefer homemade enchilada sauce too, taste SOOOOOO much better. But your version is way faster and much easier than Alton Brown's version that I use.
Have you tried Knorr's chipotle cubes? Those little things are awesome.
I have not seen the chipotle cubes – I will look for them at the store this weekend!
This looks great. I just love Pinterest!
Looking forward to trying this! Yum!
I'm not familiar with Knorr's Caldo de Tomate. Is this something dry in the spice section, or canned from the Mexican food section?
Yes you can find it in the Mexican food aisle.
I love this idea Stephanie.
