Slow Cooker Tri-Tip Recipe

  • (1) Tri-Tip steak (trimmed)
  • (1) Jar of your favorite salsa (Safeway Select "Garlic Lover's" Salsa works great)
  • (1) large can Sun Vista Pinto Beans
  • Cayenne Pepper (to taste)
  • Garlic Powder (to taste)
  • Chili Powder (to taste)
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)

If you want to make burritos or tacos with the meat, add the following to your shopping list:

  • Medium to Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Hot sauce/salsa of choice

If your tri-tip isn't trimmed, then start by trimming some of the fat off. Next add some garlic powder, salt and black pepper (to taste). Put tri-tip in slow cooker. Add the jar of salsa. Drain the can of pinto beans, and add to the slow cooker.

Set the slow cooker to low, and cook for 9 hours.

Once the tri-tip is cooked, add the cayenne pepper, more garlic powder, chili powder, and more salt or black pepper, to taste.

Now that the meat is done, throw it into some flour tortillas with sour cream, cheese and salsa, and you have yourself a fantastic burrito.

I am particularly fond of this one, so be sure to tell me how you like it.
