This is one of those great slow cooker recipes that can be used in so many different ways. But our favorite way to serve it is with flour tortillas, rice, beans, cheese, guacamole and other favorite burrito fixings.

It’s also great for game day, and even makes delicious pulled beef sandwiches. Just pile it into crusty sub buns and top with your favorite cheese and barbecue sauce.

It also freezes well, so it’s nice to keep on hand for those busy week nights when you know you won’t have time to cook!

This makes enough to feed my family twice, and since it can be used in a variety of dishes, there are no complaints about leftovers.

You can use mild or medium taco sauce, whichever you prefer, and feel free to make it even spicier with the addition of more cayenne pepper.

This Slow Cooker Beef for Burritos is pretty much one of those no-fail recipes that my whole family loves! The beef always turns out tender and juicy, which makes this one of my go-to recipes for Tex-Mex fare.
