Healthy Crock-pot Pepper Beef Wraps

A lot of my staple crock pot recipes are usually full of fat and carbs, so I decided I would try and take a healthier route. These wraps are great now that the weather is turning around. They can be stored for a picnic, packed for lunch, or served for dinner.

Now, top round doesn't usually sound healthy but consider that it's a good source of your B Vitamins, magnesium, protein, and iron. The produce additions contain a lovely dose of vitamins A and C, as well as some natural antioxidants. To finish it up, we load it with vegetables in a wrap form. This beef could also be served over rice, quinoa, pasta, or potatoes to stretch a budget.

Our Ingredients are simple, you will need:

2 Onions, your preference, I used sweet yellow

2 Cloves Garlic

2 Bell Peppers

2 Cups Vegetable Broth

2 Pounds Beef Top Round

Preferred Spice Blend, I make a blend of spices containing dehydrated garlic, black peppercorn, pink peppercorn, rosemary, basil, onion powder, parsley, and sea salt.

It's also super easy to remember! Everything is in twos!

You will want to chop your peppers and onions into fajita style slices, and mince your garlic. Set the pepper and garlic in a bowl to the side.

Take your spice blend, and generously rub it into all sides of your top round. I recommend that your top round reach room temperature before searing, but this is not required.

Preheat your skillet, with a small amount of olive oil, avocado oil, or butter.

Add your onions to your vegetable broth in your crockpot, on the low setting.

Sear your meat on all sides, till it is a crisp brown. This is to keep the flavor in your meat before it goes into the crockpot.

Place your top round into your onions and broth. Allow it to cook for 5-6 hours.

Break down your meat into large chunks and add your peppers and garlic. Cook for another two hours.

Using two forks, or a fork and a knife, shred the beef. Place it back in the pepper and onion broth so it can absorb the flavor.

For the wrap, you will want to cut up your favorite produce. We used lettuce, tomato, avocado, and roasted red pepper. I made a spicy ranch style sauce ( I can add the recipe if anyone is interested).

Take all your toppings, beef, pepper, and onions, and load up your wrap. Drizzle with a healthy dose of your favorite sauce, and enjoy!

This meal is great for families, and a good way to sneak in those healthy veggies!
