My husband loves this – thanks! I’m a vegetarian, so I just do the cooking! This is my go-to recipe now for burritos for him. I wanted to reply about using London Broil – I used it for this recipe and a lot of other slow cooker recipes, like beef stew. It always turns out tender and juicy. It has a lot less fat than a chuck roast, so it’s not swimming in grease and you get more for your money, I think. Maybe if they used too much meat and not enough liquid in the slow cooker it could possibly be dry, but I have never had a problem with it or a complaint about it. Thanks again!

Thanks for chiming in, Tina! I’m so glad you’ve had such great success with this.

Dee-licious!

Curious what you used to create the salsa topping in your photo. Was it just basil, onion and chopped tomatoes?
This had been on my Pinterest board forEVER, but I just got around to actually making it tonight. I walked my daughter through the prep (on the phone while I was at work) and came home to an amazing dinner! It was so good, there are ZERO leftovers for lunches!
Thanks so much! Everyone has already requested this again! 🙂
Jessica Fisher
Yay! It’s a big favorite here, too. No leftovers unless you make a double batch. 🙂
Tina
I tried this and there wasn’t enough liquid at all. The meat was hard because of it. There is only the one cup of salsa for liquid. I used top round. Any suggestions?
Jessica Fisher
In a slow cooker you really should not need much liquid. However, round steak (top round) is not really the best cut for this. I think you’d have better luck with chuck roast.

We have been making this for several years now and it is a winner! It is one of my husband’s favorite meals. I try and make a large batch and freeze a meal – problem is I can’t always keep enough to save, as the family devours it!!
Jennifer
Soo good!! Definitely a keeper! 🙂 Just wish I wasn’t fresh out of Pico de Gallo – will definitely get some tomorrow for the next round because I think it would make it even more AMAZING.
Jessica Fisher
So glad you liked it!

This looks delicious and your tortillas always look so yummy…do you make them yourself?
Jessica Fisher
Yes, we usually, not always, make our own homemade corn tortillas.

Unequivocally the most DELICIOUS thing that has ever come out of our slow cooker. I found the recipe in your book, wanted to be sure you got another rave review for this beauty. It is TO.DIE.FOR. I’m literally tearing up just thinking about it…it’s that good! Thank you thank you thank you! You made me look like a rock star in the kitchen this week!!
Jessica Fisher
Aww! Thank you. What a sweet thing to say. Glad you enjoyed it!
Holly
Tried this the other night and it was fantastic! The husband and picky kids loved it too.
Jessica
Isn’t that funny? It’s something that I just threw together one day and it turned into a huge hit.
Holly
You know, I think the browning step is really important. So much flavor developed in that. A lot of recipes just call for tossing it in the crockpot. It’s definitely worth that extra step.
Jessica
I agree. I see those bag it up slow cooker/freezer meals and cringe. They’re missing out on taste and texture by not browning the meat and aromatics first.

Pico de gallo: http://goodcheapeats.com/2010/08/pico-de-gallo/ Cilantro, not basil.
