Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 4-ounce can Diced green chilies
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 large Tortillas
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
• 1 large Tomato, diced

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, tomato paste, and diced green chilies.

Step 2

Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the beef.

Step 3

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 4

Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Shred the meat using two forks and return it to the slow cooker. Stir the shredded beef to coat it in the cooking juices.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 6

To assemble each burrito, add a generous scoop of the shredded beef to the center of a tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lettuce, and diced tomato.

Step 7

Roll the tortilla tightly by folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom up to enclose the filling.

Step 8

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a grab-and-go meal.
