How To Make Shredded Beef Burritos

This recipe is as simple as tossing all the ingredients into a slow cooker and letting it do all the work for you.

TRIM BEEF

Start by cutting the beef roast into 2 inch cubes, trimming off as much fat as you can.

ADD TO SLOW COOKER

Place the beef into a crock pot and add the enchilada sauce, onion, green chiles (use jalapenos for an extra kick of spice), garlic, and bouillon cubes.

COOK ON LOW

Give the mixture a good stir, cover and cook on low 7-8 hours (or high for 3-4 hours).

Check the beef and add salt and pepper to taste.

How To Store Shredded Beef

Storing the shredded beef is super easy and makes for a great meal prep idea. 

After the beef is cooked, simply let cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

You can freeze the beef for up to 3 months. 

Simply defrost the beef in the fridge overnight and warm up on the stove top over low heat or pop in the microwave to reheat.
