This Crockpot Mexican beef tips and rice turns a handful of pantry staples into a tender, flavorful dinner with almost no hands-on effort. Beef tips simmer low and slow in a spicy tomato salsa sauce with corn, black beans, and green chiles until they are fall apart tender. It's a true dump and go slow cooker meal, so you can prep it in the morning or the night before and let the Crockpot do the rest. Serve it over rice for a filling family dinner, or spoon it into tortillas for an easy weeknight fajita night.
I love meals where there is salsa and cheese. Give me those two things, throw in some chocolate beans (Allie's term, black beans to the rest of us) and corn, and you have a meal that we are all sure to gobble up.
This recipe, because it is made in the CrockPot, is even better than the average salsa, cheese, bean, and corn concoction. I toss it into the crock of the slow cooker the night before, leave it in the refrigerator overnight, and put it into the CrockPot in the morning. By suppertime, we have tender beef tips with a spicy tomato sauce reminiscent of Mexican food.
It is so good. We eat our beef and beans over rice, but you could make it low carb by using cauliflower rice. You could even eat it over couscous or noodles or potatoes or even just plain with a vegetable side.
