sounds like you want to make red chili con carne (chili colorado).. you can cook the meat in the crock pot i usually add fresh garlic, salt & pepper & maybe some onion. when the meat is cooked you can finish it up in the crock pot but you need to make a rouge ( i am not sure of spelling) with equal amounts of shortening or lard or oil. put oil or what you choose in a skillet say about 2 tablespoons or more. heat it up. then add your flour about the same or a little more & toast the flour then get a small package of red chili & in a cup take 1.5 cups of hot water or if you have a lot of liquid (broth) you can use that. mix the chili in the hot liquid & stir in to the flour mixture mix well & add to your meat in the crock pot & cook another 45 min. or so.

I'm puerto rican but I can refer you to a few great recipes:

Caldo De Rez (basically a mexican beef stew)
1 med. cabbage
1 1/2 lbs. stew meat
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/3 c. chopped green pepper
1/3 c. chopped celery
1 tsp. dried parsley or cilantro
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
Salt and pepper to taste
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
Commercial spicy hot tomato salsa (optional)

Cut cabbage into wedges. Combine cabbage, stew meat, and next 6 ingredients into a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Serve with salsa, if desired.

Or

Carne Guisado (Puerto Rican Beef Stew)
1 (8 ounce) can canned tomato sauce
1/4 cup sofrito sauce
1 packet sazon seasoning
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt to taste
2 pounds beef stew meat
2 cups peeled, cubed potatoes
1 cup water

In a large pot, combine tomato sauce, sofrito sauce, sazon seasoning, adobo seasoning, oregano, and salt. Simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Add meat, and cook until evenly browned. Stir in just enough water to cover meat. Cover, and simmer for about 1 hour. Add potatoes, and cook for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

I love making and EATING carne guisado...pollo guisado (chicken stew) is great too. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

I would brown the meat with chopped onions ,sliced hot peppers ,some garlic . make a gravy using natural juices and oil from the browned meat and an little flour add water and tomato sauce and let simmer . As for the crockpot use it for cooking frejoe beans ,that's the only thing Mexican I can cook in mine

I usually cook it on the stove... just brown the meat then add tomato sauce, potatoes, carrots, onions, serrano or jalapeno peppers, some salt and pepper to taste.. bring to a boil and let it simmer... just stick everything you want to add in the crockpot and let it cook, the longer the better
