Prepare
- Chop 14.8 ml chipotle chile in adobo
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- Chop 2 clove garlic
- 454 g flank steak, cut crosswise into 2-inch-thick strips

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the tomato sauce, chopped chipotle chile in adobo plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, ground cumin, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir in the sliced onion and chopped garlic.
-
Step 2.
Nestle the flank steak strips into the tomato-onion mixture. Cover and cook until the beef shreds easily, 4 to 5 hours on high or 7 to 8 hours on low.
-
Step 3.
Transfer the cooked beef to a bowl. Spoon off and discard any fat from the slow cooker. Add the rinsed black beans to the slow cooker and cook on high until heated through, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the beans heat, shred the beef using two forks. Once the beans are hot, toss the shredded beef with the beans in the slow cooker or a separate bowl.
-
Step 5.
Fill each warmed tortilla with the beef-bean mixture, shredded Cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, and pico de gallo. Roll up the burritos tightly. Serve with sour cream, sliced jalapeño, and lime wedges if desired.
