My food blog is about the foods that I actually make for my family. My schedule is so crazy that I tend to turn meals that are easy for an active family, all while trying to make healthy choices. And of course you will find an occasional not so healthy meals, or treats but like they say..."everything in moderation!"

Tyler Florance's Shredded Beef Burritos in the Crock-pot
This recipe is actually a stove top recipe, but honestly, who has 3 hours to babysit a top on the stove top? Not me that's for sure. I really wanted to try this recipe, however during the work week, this is not the type of meal that I could just make whenever I arrive home from work. So I thought why not make this in the crock pot. I have to say, that this has to be one of the best crock pot recipes that I'm made in a long time!
I was so pleased with the way that it came out. The beef came out so moist and jammed packed with flavor. I was so please with the way it came out in the crock-pot that I'm not even going to try to make in on the stove top, why mess with perfection.
Recipe source...http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/mexican-pot-roast-tacos-recipe/index.html (this is the stove-pot version)
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
2 pounds beef shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced (I like red onions)
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon smoked cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 avocado cut into chunks
1 med tomato cut into chunks
1/2 habanero pepper minced
6 wraps
lite sour cream
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO DO:
Season all sides of the beef with a fair amount of salt and pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, onions, canned tomatoes, beef cayenne pepper, and cumin to crock-pot.
Let cook on LOW for 7-8 hours. Beef should be fork tender and falling apart.
Remove beef from pot and using 2 forks shred beef into bite size.
TO ASSEMBLE YOUR BURRITO:
Take one wrap, and take a teaspoon of sour cream and spread on wrap.
Add shredded beef, and top with chopped tomatoes, habanero pepper, and avocado.
Wrap burrito and eat!
This sounds great! Love that you made it a crock pot version.
