      I am trying to find a recipe for burritos that have shredded beef potatoes and gravy in them. I have eaten them once and they are amazing. Can you help me. Please

        Hi Janey! Wow tough question, I've never had a burrito like that before but sounds interesting!

        The most helpful recipe on my site would probably be this Slow Cooker Barbacoa Recipe

        You could easily add potatoes to that shredded beef and you might be getting close to the version you've had before. Hope that helps a little bit!
