Asian Beef Wraps

We tried these Asian Beef Wraps last night for dinner and they were so tasty. I knew I'd like them, I've made a similar recipe before (you can find that here) But, these you could cook in the slow cooker, so I wanted to try them. I thought both recipes were good and you can do it either way. The good thing about these is you could prep everything the night before (like after the kids go to bed) and then just throw it all in the crock pot the next day.

Sorry these are not the best pictures, it was a little hectic a dinner time last night.
