Mouthwatering Slow Cooker Burrito Recipes
Slow cooker burrito recipes are popular because this cooking method makes the burrito filling extra tender and succulent. The following burrito recipe uses London broil, but what is London broil exactly? This cut of steak is made by broiling or grilling marinated round steak or flank and then cutting it into thin strips against the grain. Interestingly enough, this food is not known in London, England, and nobody really knows where the name came from. London broil does not have to be a specific cut of steak, although flank steak is usually used for it, as well as top round roast. This meat needs to be pounded, marinated, or slow cooked to make it tender, because of the muscle fibers, which run down the length of these cuts.
You can also make slow cooker burrito recipes with chicken, pork or another meat but using London broil gives a particularly flavorsome result and the refried beans, corn, Monterey Jack cheese, tomatoes, cilantro and other tasty ingredients all help to make these crockpot burritos extra delicious.
Crockpot cooking is handy if you plan to be out all day long because you can leave food in there cooking on a low heat and when you get home it will be ready to eat. If you have never tried using one before, you will love it when you do try. Not only can you make delicious slow cooker burrito recipes in a crockpot but all kinds of soups, stews and even desserts too.
