Veggie Burrito Filling (Crock Pot)

"This tasty burrito filling is something like a chilli but is fantastic wrapped in a tortilla. When done, top off with your favorite burrito condiments, such as cheese, sour cream, grilled veggies, lettuce, avocado, salsa, hot sauce, onions, sprouts, olives... you get the idea- and wrap in a tortilla (I like whole or multi grain). I use a 6 quart crock pot. If yours is smaller I'd suggest using less liquid. If it turns out to be too watery, then take the lid off and let it cook down a bit. Adjust the seasonings for your own taste- use less or more chilis. If you are not crazy about cumin try some taco seasoning instead. This recipe is flexible. Cook time does not reflect the overnight soaking time of the beans."

directions

  • Add all of the ingredients to the crock pot and cover.
  • Cook on low 8-10 hours.
  • I usually wait to season with cumin and chilli powder until it is time to eat, but you can probably add it all in at one time.
  • Enjoy!

  1. Good stuff! It's very filling, and very healthy, too. We couldn't find rye berries at the natural foods store, so we just doubled up the wheat berries. They added an interesting (good) texture to this. I've used this as a burrito filling, but I've also had a couple servings as stew. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. This was an easy recipe that the whole family enjoyed. I ended up with a lot of extra liquid in the crock pot, so I drained the entire mixture using a strainer, which seemed to work well. Next time I'll cut back on the broth a little.
     
  3. I was lazy, and used 1 can of chopped green chiles for the green chili pepper, and used crushed red pepper for the red. It was still very good. Even the three meat-lovers in my house thought it was pretty good. Although something I did made it too runny for burritos - we ate it like chili with onions & cheese.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live with my hubby and three feline children in Oakland by Lake Merritt. <br /> <br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars if the recipe works without having to make changes (my own subs just for personal preference do not count) <br />*New Rule: If hubby says "mmmm" or "this is good" without me asking if he likes it, it automatically gets five stars <br />4 stars if the recipe needs a minimal amount of changing because the recipe does not work the way it was written or if overall it just didn't WOW me. <br />3 stars and below if the recipe just does not work or if the instructions are not written clearly enough to make it. <br /> <br />Please know that I will change your recipe to fit my diet. I mean no disrespect, but since I have to diet I have to do it. I refuse to limit myself to recipes that already fit my diet and like the challenge of changing already existing recipes to be healthier. I will leave out the oil, leave out or replace the cheese and milk with a non-dairy alternative, and use whole grains. I will also leave out meat and broth and choose vegetarian, low sodium versions/alternatives. I still rate recipes that I make these changes to. <br /> <br />But, if I use a recipe as inspiration only- meaning I got a great idea from it but changed it all around- I generally will not give any stars but will put a little note stating what I did. I love to give credit where credit is due. <br /> <br />I don't deduct stars if I personally do not like an ingredient in the recipe. I don't make recipes that I think that I won't like, which is why you will probably notice that most of my ratings are pretty high. I think it is silly that people choose to make recipes that include ingredients that they don't like then rate them poorly saying "I don't care for..." Anyway, you get the idea. <br /> <br />I've participated in <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group04cherry.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group09okra.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group02banana.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group12starfruit.jpg" alt="" /></p>
