We really enjoyed this! I let it simmer in the crock pot all day on low and came home to delicious burritos! I used a ball tip steak which was on sale and had fabulous results with it.

Perfect balance of flavors and cooking in the crock pot is a major plus for me. As mentioned before it isn't super spicy but a great start of a recipe that you could make variations of. Made for ZWT 5.

Great crockpot recipe! We found this to be great as is, wrapped in a tortilla, or even served over rice! Thank you for posting a very simple, easy dish that everyone from my 18 month old all the way up to the adults could enjoy! I didn't find this dish spicy at all which is great because I can't stand spicy hot things. Made for ZWT5.
