Crockpot Layered Bean Burritos Recipe

By Chrysa | 72 Comments

Slow cooker layered bean burritos are a delicious, hearty and budget friendly meal that's easy to put together and even easier to cook because the Crockpot does the work!

Crockpot Layered Bean Burritos

During these long cold winter months, it seems like the Crockpot is more popular than ever.  I have been using mine a lot this year and also experimenting with adapting family favorites into Crockpot meals.  

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General so last week I tried one of these adaptations and I headed to Dollar General for ingredients.  Dollar General has so many kitchen staples available on their shelves with their Clover Valley brand – most of them at prices lower than national brands.  This makes Dollar General easy meals both quick, easy AND affordable!

Flour Tortillas

I was able to get everything I needed at Dollar General to create this Crockpot Layered Bean Burritos recipe along with a side dish of Spanish rice for just over $10. I even had extra ingredients left over.

You can use flour tortillas from the store, or make the dish extra delicious with homemade by using our easy flour tortilla recipe!

You might want to consider using a slow cooker liner for this dish. We all know how hard it can be to clean up after anything made with cheese! You can find them here. Once you are done cooking and serving, just pull the liner of the pot and throw away. You'll be left with a totally clean slow cooker with nothing to wash!

So, let's get on to the recipe!

    I have a thing about off brands sometimes they really dull compared to name brands. Your choice of items doesn’t seem like it could go wrong but how would you rate the quality over other brands you’ve tried?

      I hadn’t tried the Clover Valley line below and was pleasantly surprised, especially by the refried beans. I used more of it later just spread on a tortilla, sprinkled with cheese and stuck in the toaster oven and it was really good!

    Just a few months ago I took my slow cooker out of storage and started learning how to use it (I’m so behind with the cooking times!). This will definitely be going in my recipe list!

    I am definitely going to try this recipe! I am about 99 % vegetarian, and one of my main sources of protein is beans. I also like the other ingredients in this recipe, and it sounds so easy to make. It sounds delicious.

    I bet my fiance and daughter would love this meal. I am not a big bean person and my sons are occasionally picky but thanks for the recipe because my fiance and daughter certainly do like when I create special things just for them!

    Wow, this looks SO yummy! We have a Dollar General less than a mile from our home, so it would be so easy to make this one night. Especially since it’s a slow cooker meal!

    This is very interesting, you just layer everything in the crockpot and let it cook. I would be very interested in seeing how it turns out and how it tastes compared with making a burrito in the oven. Thank you for sharing this very interesting recipe.
