I’m a sucker for all Mexican food and I have been DYING to make this since I saw the recipe on Pinterest about a week ago! It combines two fabulous things: Mexican food and the use of a slow cooker. I was sold!
Here are the ingredients you need to make this:
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds stew meat or other beef cubed
- 1 large can mild enchilada sauce (19 oz.) or two small cans
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1/2 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 can refried beans
- 5-7 burrito size flour tortillas
- shredded cheddar cheese
Here are the steps for making it:
Add meat, enchilada sauce, beef bouillon, and taco seasoning to slow cooker and stir to mix everything together. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Shred beef. Spread a spoonful of beans along the center of the tortilla. Fill with beef mixture and cheese. Roll your tortilla and spoon the sauce over the top and cover with cheese.
I found the original recipe at Food Pusher. I made some modifications to the original recipe including just using one beef bouillon cube (the original recipe calls for two) and using half a packet of taco seasoning (which isn’t part of the original recipe). I served my kids’ with a side of sour cream to help “cool” things off. This was so easy to make and we loved it! I loved the extra kick from the taco seasoning, but if you don’t like things with a kick, you might want to leave that out. My husband said it’s a “keeper.” We can’t wait to make this again!

This looks great! I think I’ll be making it this week 🙂
Yum! That looks really good! We might have to give this a try. It’s always great to find easy meals- especially those that can be made in the crock pot. Since it’s almost back to school time for me I’m looking for a collection of easy but good meals that make dinner a no-brainer. Thanks for sharing this!
