Recipe: Southwest Beef Wraps (crock pot)

Southwest Beef Wraps (crock pot)

BEEF:
1 boneless beef chuck shoulder pot roast or bottom round rump roast (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
1 medium onion, cut into quarters
3 cloves garlic, peeled
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
TOMATO-CORN RELISH:
1 cup frozen corn, defrosted
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
WRAPS:
2 jars (16 ounces each) prepared chunky salsa with cilantro, divided
8 flour tortillas (10-inch diameter), warmed
Fresh cilantro (optional)

Cut beef pot roast into 4 even pieces. Place onion and garlic in 4 1/2 to 5 1/2-quart slow cooker; top with beef. Add water, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on HIGH 5 to 5 1/2 hours or on LOW 9 to 9 1/2 hours, or until beef is fork-tender. (No stirring is necessary during cooking.)

Remove beef; cool slightly. Strain cooking liquid; skim fat; reserve 1/2 cup.

Shred beef with 2 forks. Place beef in 2-quart microwave-safe dish; add 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

Combine relish ingredients in medium bowl; stir in 1/4 cup salsa.

Add remaining salsa to beef; mix well. Cover and microwave on HIGH 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring once.

Top each tortilla with 3/4 cup beef mixture, leaving 1 1/2-inch border around edge. Top beef with about 1/4 cup relish. Fold right and left sides of tortilla over filling; fold bottom edge over and roll up. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
