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!
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!
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!

Can you add beef to it? Should it be precooked?
Chrysa says
Yes! You can definitely add a layer of beef, but precook and season it before adding.

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.
