Beef and Chipotle Burritos

I decided that today was a good day to try cooking with a slow cooker since I had time in the morning/early afternoon. I followed the recipe by the title name at SlowandSimple.com.

Although Nicky's slow cooker was only a 2qt, I was able to put everything in. I bought a 1lb boneless beef round steak and didn't include onions...and apparently I also forgot to add cheese in at the end. Sitting at home smelling the slow cooker's goodness was too enticing for me to add cheese I guess!

After 4 hours on high, I pulled out the beef and began to shred it
Some shredded, some still in chunks

So tender and spicy!
The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce really added the main flavor of the beef. It was so deliciously spicy!!

I included some of Lauren's leftover peppers and onions from her fajita last night, somewhat homemade guac (I used a mix), and sour cream for my burrito. Today also marks the first day I wrapped a decent (although slim) burrito roll!

I definitely plan on trying to cook more using the slow cooker in the future. Too bad I don't have many days left in Boston...maybe my mom has a slow cooker I can use!

Update
I realized, when talking to my mom on the phone, that I totally forgot to add rice (and cheese) to my burrito. Guess I truly was excited to eat that I forgot a lot of what goes in a burrito!
