  • “Thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe.It was very simple to prepare yet it yields delicious results.My brother, who is a good cook had a taste and immediately requested this recipe too. Yummy!”

  • “This is great my men eat it up and ask for more.The only hard part is keeping them out of the meat so you can get it shreaded it smells so good.Lily Sawyer”

  • “My husband is a really picky eater and he loved this very easy recipe!”

  • “This was pretty decent – a very basic crock pot recipe. I didn’t notice anything special about it, taste-wise, when compared to other beef crock pot recipes. I wasn’t home when it was done, so I had my husband turn the pot off and remove the meat from the juices. When I got home, I threw part of the meat in a skillet – especially the edges of the roast that were covered with the mixture (reserved the middle part of the roast for something else – probably gonna make BBQ meat with it) and added a couple of cups of the juice from the crock pot to the skillet, as well. After the beef was shredded and mixed with the extra juice, the flavor was a bit bland. I then added cumin, garlic, jalapeño hot sauce, cayenne pepper and some Mexican chili powder. Those things pepped it up quite a bit, and allowed me to season it to our preferences.In retrospect, I wish I would have added some canned peppers in adobo to the crockpot mixture. I have a chicken recipe that literally can’t be beat, and the recipe includes that component – I think it really makes the meat flavorful. If you didn’t want to bother separating the meat by my method (the middle part of the roast untouched by the Mexican-inspired flavor), the meat would be fine with some spicy BBQ sauce. The flavors would meld fine, so no real big deal either way. Toppings that taste good with my bastardized version? Sour cream, Mexican cheese, and raw onions.”

  • “Simple to prepare but my family really didn’t care for the flavor,”

  • “We loved this!I can’t wait to make it again.I think I’ll try some ground meat because my husband has braces and the shredded meat was tricky for him.Thanks for sharing!”

  • “Wonderful!Our roast came out a little tough and was not the easiest to shred, so we cubed the meat and dumped it back in the crock pot to let it soak up the juices.Sooo good!We made ours Chipotle style.The only thing missing was the corn salsa…Just gotta find that copycat recipe!Thanks so much!We really enjoyed it!”

  • “Awesome!!! I would give this 10 stars if I could. There weren’t any rump roasts at the store when I went, so I got a chuck roast, and it turned out perfect. I also served recipe #136923 on top and it was *fantastic*. This is going to be a regular at our house from now on!”

  • “This was a very simple, delicious recipe that deserves many more than five stars. I was pleasantly surprised at how very, very easy this was and we could not stop eating it. I am very glad that I tried this recipe!”

  • “My family gobbled this up! I made some queso sauce to go with it and it was fabulous. The only negative thing that I seemed to notice was that it was a bit salty, but this had to be due to the taco seasoning that I used so I will be using a different one next time.”

  • “I made this exactly as posted and it turned out wonderful. I think the next time I make this I’ll try beef stew meat just to save a few extra dollers. Other recipes I’ve made with beef stew meat in the crock pot turn out just as tender and would shred just as easily. It might not be as great, but perhaps a less expensive alternative when needed.”

  • “This was PHENOMENAL! I always wondered how they made that meat in the restaurants so great. I used this for Chimichangas but it would be good for almost any Mexican dish.”

  • “It wasn’t my cup of tea but have to say the family liked it a lot.Even though I browned the roast before I put it in the crock pot, it still tasted a bit “boiled”.That seems to be a problem I have with a lot of crock pot recipes though so its probably not fair to blame that on this recipe.As I said, it was much enjoyed by everyone else so I’m sure I’ll make it again.There was a lot of liquid in the pot at the end of the cooking time so I thickened it with gravy mix so it would coat the meat a bit more.Thanks for posting from all my boys!”

  • “I’ve made this recipe and have passed it to friends and family many times. It just continues to get Wows! Even my husband who doesn’t care to cook likes to prepare this.”

  • “I followed instructions as given, but after 8 hrs of cooking on low the meat was not close to being done.I put my temperature up to high for another 2 hrs and it came out great.The taste was wonderful and full of flavor.Everyone pilled their meat and toppings into a burrito, rolled it up and eat it up.Great taste, easy to put together!Prairie Moon Girl!”

  • “This was delicious!! Even my picky 9 and 10 year old loved it!!”

  • “I’ve been cooking beef and pork roasts in the crock pot for about 2 years since my daughter showed me how delicious “pulled pork” and “shredded beef” can be with BBQ sauce.Now this is another “eye opener” that I am going to try, and maybe I’ll teach daughter something new.It sounds delicious and so easy!Thank you for sharing this incredible idea!!!”

  • “Great flavor. I liked making burritos this way since I didn’t have to fry up ground beef first like with the usual way of making burritos.Just flaking the rump roast before serving made it so easy.—- Very simple to make… my kind of recipe.The only additions I made to this recipe was that I garnished the burritos with sliced ripe olives and sliced green onions.”

  • “Kid in sports (doesn’t that say enough?),so we don’t hit the front door until 7:00 after a very long day of school and activities.Time for the crockpot and this recipe.When we come through the door, all I have to do is pull out the roast and shred it.Then I toss it with a bit of the sauce.The flavor is wonderful and the meat is tender and moist.Served with tortillas and the fixings, it’s a great fajita-style dinner!Thank you for the recipe, it’s a winner.”

  • “I loved the flavor of this roast.Great change of pace from the regular ground beef burritos.Thanks for posting this one.”
