Ingredients

  • 1 lb of ground beef or turkey
  • 1 24 ounce jar of salsa
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 15 oz can of ripe olives
  • 1 or 2 15 oz cans of refried beans
  • 10-20 fajita size tortillas

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef with a little garlic (and onion if you like.) Drain off any fat.
  • Blend the salsa to remove chunks if you have picky eaters. Place a little salsa in the bottom of your slow cooker, then stir the rest into your ground beef.
  • Then chop up your olives into dices. We used a Handy Chopper.
  • Place a small amount of refried beans, olives, and cheese on the edge of a tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in the bottom of your slow cooker. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
  • Top with your beef and salsa mixture.
  • Then cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low all day.
  • Top with cheese for the last few minutes and let it melt in. Serve with corn, rice, and a side salad.

Notes

I bought everything except the cheese at Aldi. We buy our cheese at Costco, because it's cheaper in the 10 lb bags.
