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!

SPICY SHREDDED BEEF BURRITOS~ROBYNNE



Spicy Shredded Beef Burritos~Robynne image

Adapted from a copycat version of Chipotle Mexican Grill Barbacoa Burritos. I make them and my husband say's "Chipotle's got nothin' on you, honey"! I usually make the beef the day before I serve the burritos and reheat and adjust seasoning, as needed, but this is not necessary. Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole and don't forget the sour cream! Thanks to Bonnie Dare for the great rice recipe "Cilantro Lime Rice" found on this site! Disclaimer: I have always used recipes as a guide and use my instincts and experience to alter or omit ingredients as I cook. Therefore, it has always been a challenge when sharing recipes with others. I doubt I make dishes the same way twice. So, I advise you to use my recipes the same way. Trust your experience and adjust to your personal taste~Robynne

1 1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper

2 slice(s) salt pork
1 teaspoon(s) granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon(s) cumin or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon(s) 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:

  • Sprinkle seasoning on roast. In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil and cook each side of roast until lightly browned.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Make Lime Cilantro Rice as directed.
  • 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.
  • 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 cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck roast are all good options for shredded beef burritos. These cuts are relatively inexpensive and have a good amount of flavor. If you're using a leaner cut of beef, you may want to marinate it for a few hours before cooking to help tenderize it.
  • Cook the beef properly: Shredded beef for burritos should be cooked until it is tender and flavorful, but not overcooked. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy. The best way to cook shredded beef is to braise it in a slow cooker or Dutch oven. This method helps to keep the beef moist and tender.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The other ingredients in your shredded beef burritos are just as important as the beef itself. Use fresh, ripe vegetables and flavorful spices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations.
  • Assemble your burritos carefully: When assembling your burritos, be sure to layer the ingredients evenly. This will help to ensure that each bite is full of flavor. You can also add a variety of toppings to your burritos, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Serve your burritos immediately: Shredded beef burritos are best served immediately after they are assembled. This will help to keep the tortillas warm and the fillings flavorful.

Conclusion:

Shredded beef burritos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make shredded beef burritos at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shredded beef burritos a try. You won't be disappointed!
