SPICY BEEF BURRITOS



Spicy Beef Burritos image

This recipe is from a pamphlet Del Monte put out. I have been making this for years, as it has become one of our favorites. I must confess I usually substitute a can of plain stewed tomatoes and add my own spices - chipotle powder, garlic powder, cumin and pepper. I use approximately a 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of each, depending on my taste buds that day. Suggest you make it with the Mexican spiced tomatoes for the first time. Ole!

2 Tbsp olive oil
sprinkle southwest chipotle seasoning, granulated garlic, pepper, salt on roast
1/3 c apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp lime juice
3 chipotle peppers-canned
(i have used knorr chipotle flavored cubes-like bullion cubes) and eliminate the need for food processing
5 clove garlic, minced
4 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp oregano, dried
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground clove
32 oz beef broth (or enough to cover roast in dutch oven)

2 slice salt pork
1 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp cumin or more to taste
1/2 tsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste
YOU WILL ALSO NEED
8 burrito sized flour tortillas
shredded monterey jack and white cheddar combined
your favorite salsa (we love rojo's fresh cut salsa, restaurant style
guacamole, if desired
sour cream, if desired
fresh cilantro, if desired
I USED

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle seasoning on roast. In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil and cook each side of roast until lightly browned.
  • 2. Adobo Sauce: Combine the lime juice, vinegar, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt and clove in a blender (you can also use a food processor) and blend at the highest speed until it's smooth and creamy.
  • 3. Pour the adobo sauce over the meat and add in the beef broth and bay leaves. Cover and roast in 325 F degree oven for approx. 5 hours or until tender.
  • 4. While roast is cooking, add all the bean ingredients in a crock pot and heat on high until bubbling, stir and simmer on low heat until ready to serve.
  • 5. When roast is done, let cool and remove the butchers twine and bay leaves. Shred the beef using two forks and remove excess fat as you shred. Adjust seasoning if needed and simmer on low heat until ready to serve.
  • 6. Make Lime Cilantro Rice as directed.
  • 7. When ready to serve, warm tortilla in a dry skillet or wet with water and roll in a paper towel, heat in microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  • 8. Add a rice, beef, beans, salsa, cheese, guacamole and sour cream. Fold in both sides of the tortilla and then roll up as tight as possible from bottom to top, keeping the sides closed in as you go.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck roast are all good options for beef burritos. These cuts of beef are flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef before cooking helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin.
  • Cook the beef properly: The beef should be cooked over high heat until it is slightly charred on the outside and still pink in the center. This will give the beef a flavorful crust and a tender interior.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are essential for the best burritos. You can find fresh tortillas at most grocery stores or Mexican restaurants.
  • Load up on the toppings: Burritos are a great way to use up leftover vegetables, beans, and cheese. Some popular burrito toppings include rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
  • Fold the burritos tightly: To prevent the burritos from falling apart, fold them tightly. You can use a toothpick or skewer to secure the burritos if necessary.
