Posole Burritos! A Slow Cooker Recipe

October 13, 2015 by Sandy 46 Comments

Old World flavor wrapped into a portable burrito! Burritos may be the best answer to the “What’s for Dinner Blues!” This Posole Burritos recipe updates one of the most traditional dishes from Mexico for today’s slow cooker and will have dinner on the table in no time!

Posole Burrito Slow Cooker Recipe

I am very happy to announce the official launching of our newest cookbook, BURRITOS! Donna and I have had this project in the works for over a year now and am proud to say that BURRITOS! is now available and actually IN the stores now!

***ENTER TO WIN A BURRITOS! COOKBOOK by leaving a comment here on this post. We will choose 3 winners so please tell your friends and family and any “foodie” types who might like to enter!***

Winners chosen at midnight AZ time on October 28, 2015

BURRITOS! takes 70 of our favorite recipes and rolls them into fast, easy and portable alternatives to the same ol’ dinner. We have added other recipes to the book that go great inside the burritos like Mexican Red Rice, Easy Red Chile Mole, Tomatillo Cream Sauce and Homemade Flour Tortillas so that each burrito can be a complete meal for your family.

 

Burritos Cookbook-1

The cookbook has been available online since August but, I wanted to wait to make the “official” announcement until I have actually seen it in the stores and I knew that you could find it as well.  I  have set up a page here on Everyday Southwest that has links to several online sources like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Gibbs Smith (our very own publisher extraordinaire). Just follow the link to this page and you will see several ways to order BURRITOS!

You can also find BURRITOS! In your local bookstores and gift shops. Not every Barnes and Noble in my area had our book on the shelves BUT! They were happy to order it and have it shipped to the store for me. Having the cookbook shipped to the stored saved the price of shipping and handling so I didn’t have to pay for that!  (Great to keep in mind when ordering as gifts!)

So.  Where did I first see BURRITOS!?  In a gas station, of coarse! Not just any gas station, mind you… a “fancy” gas station and car wash in upscale North Scottsdale with the award winning and “seen on tv” barbecue joint, Tom Thumb Fresh Market. In fact, Tom Thumb has been featured on Food Network and Guy Fieri’s popular show—Dinners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Burritos! with Guy Fieri--2

Now, I’m not saying that Guy Fieri has endorsed our cookbook BUT, he has endorsed Tom Thumb Fresh Market and Tom Thumb Fresh Market is carrying our cookbook. So… someone could make a connection… maybe… if they were trying very hard…

I like to say we are 3 degrees from Guy Fieri.

  1. We wrote the cookbook.
  2. Our cookbook is carried by Tom Thumb Fresh Market
  3. Guy Fieri endorses Tom Thumb.

Hey! We must only be one more degree closer to the Food Network!  and Bobby Flay!  Anyhooo… that’s just for fun.

Posole Burrito Recipe

In the mean time, here is one of my favorite recipes from the “Old World” chapter of our cookbook called Updated Classics.

I hope you love this recipe and enter the giveaway!

    A cook can’t have too many cookbooks, and ‘Burritos’ looks and sounds terrific! Congrats. We enjoy posole soup, but a burrito version sounds quite tempting.

    Love the explanation for your Guy Fieri connection – though if you don’t mind me saying so, I’d rather eat your burritos than meet him and have to share my burrito with Guy. (He’s always grabbing food from others – so impolite 🙂 Anyway, love these burritos.

    We love Mexican food – love it! I had no idea you had a book out. I am so excited to hear about it. A big Congratulations to you and your co-author. That is wonderful.
    The recipe you shared looks so good. We are quickly moving into fall right now and I need to round up a bunch of slow cooker recipes to try. I will be spending more time on your site (and pinning too!)

    Oh my word! How is it that I have only just now discovered y’all?! I instantly added you to my feed so I won’t miss a thing. We ranch in New Mexico and peppers and green chile are added to everything. Its an addiction. Perfect timing on your cookbook – I’m thinking friends and family will enjoy finding it under the tree. I would love to add it to my kitchen as well. I’m always looking for something new as I often feed a cowboy crew.

    Hi Donna & Sandra 🙂

    Congrats on the book! 🙂

    Wow – perfect timing! We had burritos for dinner last night & it was my sweetie’s first timing making them from head to toe himself (too cute!). While we were eating he says to me “hmmmmm, what would you do if you wanted to fancy up a burrito or make it gourmet?” We then sat last night brain storming ideas for spruced up versions of burritos while we were munching on our burritos 🙂

    Received the e-mail today about your burrito book – what a hoot! He’d/we’d be thrilled, its just what we were talking about last night – we need to “fancy up” our burrito roster 🙂
