Crock-Pot Chili Colorado

This recipe is totally a stand-by in my crock-pot arsenal and one I have cooked for years and years and years.

Growing up my dad didn’t cook all that often but when he did he made 1 of three dishes – spaghetti, navy beans and Indian Fry bread or Chili Colorado. And he made his Chili Colorado in the slow cooker.

This is my dad’s recipe.

This is just an easy crock-pot recipe to make and very versatile. You basically throw in some beef or pork stew meat, some onion, garlic, canned tomatoes and canned green chili’s and a few spices and let it simmer away in the crock all day long.

Then you assemble it into burritos. These are a wet burrito, the kind you eat with a fork. Not the kind of burrito that you pick up and eat. I mean I guess you can make them less wet if you want, however that is no fun at all.

Personally, I like to put a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the folded burrito and then spoon some of the hot juices from the Chili Colorado straight from the crock-pot over the cheese which melts it nice and gooey. Then add a dollop of sour cream and if I have it on hand a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

😀

The bonus of this recipe is that not only does it make AMAZING burritos that rival anything at a decent Mexican restaurant it also can be turned into a really good bowl of chili just by adding a couple cans (drained and rinsed) of either pinto beans or kidney beans (or both).

I usually add some beans to any leftovers I have after making the wet burritos…that is IF there are any leftovers left.

Then I fill up a bowl of yummy chili and top again with some cheese and sour cream and diced onion and maybe serve it with a side of cornbread for sopping up all those yummy chili juices.
