Green Chili Beef Burritos

This recipe is similar to another shredded beef burrito recipe I make. It is a little spicier because of the jalapenos, but not too spicy. We only used half the recipe since 3 pounds is plenty for us. Also didn't add the seasoning blend. I did not wait patiently for the sauce to cool and skim the fat. Instead I stuck my immersion blender in the crock pot and then added the meat back right away. It definitely had more flavor after I put it back in the liquid. They are very good burritos and the meat can be used for other things....like, say, empanadas.
