This recipe makes 12 small smothered burritos. A serving is 2 burritos but you can make it just one burrito per person to serve a larger crowd. A nice side of Mexican rice, salad and perhaps some tortilla chips make an excellent meal to serve your family.
Place beef and diced onion in the bottom of a 6 quart or larger oval slow cooker OR a 3.5 quart casserole slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, stirring the meat mixture quickly after 2 hours of cooking time. Once done cooking use a slott
Drain off excess cooking liquid from meat mixture and add to a mixing bowl. To the mixing bowl add the refried beans, 1 cup of the shredded cheese and taco seasoning and stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl combine together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream and salsa until well combined, set aside.
Wash and dry the stoneware insert to your slow cooker and place it back into the heating element base (make sure it is dry!).
Spoon one-third of the soup and salsa mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Divide the beef and bean mixture evenly between the 12 small flour tortillas and roll each tortilla cup into a burrito.
Place 6 rolled burritos, seam side down on top of the soup mixture in the slow cooker. Spoon another one-third of the soup mixture on top of the burritos and sprinkle the top with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Add a second layer of burritos on top of the first, seam side down and spoon the final one-third of the soup mixture on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours.
Notes
To make clean up easier you may wish to either line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with non-stick cooking spray.If using a 3.5 quart casserole slow cooker, you should be able to fit all 12 burritos in one single layer. So instead, add half of the soup mixture to the bottom of the slow cooker, place all of the burritos in a single layer, spoon the other half of the soup mixture on top and top with 2 cups of shredded cheese. Cook for 2 to 3 hours on LOW.
