Provided by Phyllis Gesch

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb beef stew meat or top sirloin
1 large can enchilada sauce (at least 19oz)
2 beef bouillon, cubes
1/2 can(s) refried beans
6 large tortillas, flour
1 c cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Put meat, bouillon, and enchilada sauce into your crockpot, and cook on high for about 4 hours. (If using your crockpot on high isn't your thing, you can do this on low for 7-8 hours.)
  • 2. When beef is tender (should flake off when stirred), taste and see if it needs salt. Heat up your refried beans.
  • 3. Lay out a tortilla, spread beans on it, then add meat (drained by using a slotted spoon). Roll it up and place in a baking dish or on a cookie sheet. Pour some of the remaining sauce from the crockpot over each burrito, and sprinkle with cheese.
  • 4. Broil cheese until it is bubbly, only about 3 minutes.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds ground beef
¼ cup chopped onion
2 (15 ounce) cans chili without beans (such as Hormel®)
1 cup salsa
12 large flour tortillas, warmed
2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
6 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Fill tortillas with 1/2 of the beef mixture and roll tortilla around the filling forming burritos. Mix the remaining beef mixture with cream of chicken soup and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket, chuck roast, or flank steak are all good options for smothered beef burritos. These cuts are tough enough to withstand long cooking times, but they also become tender and flavorful when braised.
  • Sear the beef before braising: Searing the beef in a hot pan before braising it helps to develop flavor and color. It also helps to prevent the beef from becoming dry and tough.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the beef its flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful liquid. Some good options include beef broth, red wine, or a combination of both.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender: The beef should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This can take several hours, but it's worth the wait. The longer the beef cooks, the more tender and flavorful it will become.
  • Make sure the tortillas are warm before serving: Warm tortillas are more pliable and easier to roll. You can warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat, or you can wrap them in foil and place them in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Smothered beef burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a little planning, you can have these burritos on the table in under an hour. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give smothered beef burritos a try. You won't be disappointed.
