Exciting things happen in the kitchen! I’m always experimenting with new recipes, most of which will never appear on this blog. I tend to look at recipes and think…“that sounds good, but what if I did this instead…” And I’ll be honest, a lot of times it would have been better if I hadn’t done that… But that’s okay. Whether a cooking experiment results in great success (yay!) or in culinary failure (it happens), I always learn something new. I can't wait to see what happens When We Start Cooking.

Slow Cooker Burritos
1 lb ground beef
1 pkg. McCormick Burrito Seasoning
1 can fat free refried beans
1 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped green bell pepper
1 chopped tomato
1 pkg. reduced fat cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
8-10 burrito sized flour tortillas
Aluminum foil
Steam meat to cook out excess fat (or brown in skillet and drain). Transfer meat to skillet and add burrito seasoning and just enough water to thoroughly blend seasoning with meat.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans over a tortilla, then add a spoonful of meat and a sprinkling of onion, pepper, tomato, and cheese. Fold over ends of tortilla and close, then wrap in aluminum foil.
Place all foil wrapped burritos in slow cooker and cook on HIGH for two hours. The tortillas and veggies steam in the packets, creating a delicious, easy to serve, easy to clean up meal.
Serve with a side of rice and salsa, sour cream, additional cheese, chopped lettuce and tomatoes, and/or a warmed can of enchilada sauce as toppings.
