REVIEWS:

This is SO tasty and delicious. It's one of our absolute favorites. I will be making this for years and years.

Wow, it surprised me that this had decent spiciness. It must have been from the tomatoes. Anyway, we loved it. I bought whole wheat tortillas to put the mixture in because I was tired of rice dishes. We had to drain off some of the broth, so I was surprised when I read the previous review stating theirs was dry.

The meat was SO dry and I followed the recipe verbatim! Good concept though.

Great way to use up the round steak in our freezer. Delicious, easy, and fast to throw together. I used black beans instead of pinto beans. Had over hot rice one night, in tortillas the next. Family loved it.

The whole family loves this recipe. I have to double the recipe so we can have leftovers for lunch. Very easy to make which is a plus. We have Chipotle in our area and they have a dish that is called Burrito Bol just like this.

If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! So easy, and so delicious! I have played around with the recipe a bit and have done chicken breasts instead of beef with black beans instead of Pinto. I have also substituted lean pork for the beef. Each combination is different, but still wonderful. The beef in the original recipe remains my favorite. Fast, delicious, and all-around superb!

This was very tasty and delicious. I will be making it often.

My family LOVES this recipe! The only change that we make it to use black beans instead of kidney beans (as that is what my kids prefer). Awesome recipe!

Easy to make, very tasty. My husband likes to add hot sauce to make it spicy.

Very easy and delicious.

This was so very simple and very good and will definitely make again but i think next time i might add and extra can of tomato and double seasonings (for the extra can) as i felt along with the rice and the beef it was a bit mroe dry and could have used more juice - but in all honesty i did have a bit more beef than what it called for (about 2 lbs) so it prob soaked up more juice than it should have - but i think the extra can wouldn't hurt anyway! very yummy and different! the beef just shredded apart!

Absolutely a great recipe - my husband and I eat it over rice and my kids make tacos out of it! FANTASTIC with so much flavor!!

Easy and yummy. I threw in two sliced carrotts and two celery stalks that I had left in my fridge. Really good flavor.

Super yummy!! The beef just fell apart in the crockpot and I used black beans instead of pinto. My family loves it!!

YUMMY and it smells so good while it's cooking. Next time though I'll shred the beef instead of slicing it so it's a bit easier to eat.

So easy and the whole family loved it. A keeper!

Super easy, but super delicious! My family loved it!

I made this last night and I have to say its the BOMB, it is sooooo delicious and the flavors are fantasatic..I will recommend this to anyone!
