SHREDDED BEEF BURRITO FILLING

Shredded Beef Burrito Filling image

Make your next office party a taco bar or burrito bar! Set out the beef in the slow cooker on warm, along with tortillas, bowls of shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, and chopped lettuce, jalapenos, onions and tomatoes. For a variation, I make Beef & Bean burritos by mixing a can of refried beans into 3 or 4 cups of cooked beef filling. -Hope Wasylenki, Gahanna, Ohio
