Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, until the beef browned. While beef is browning, mix together in a small bowl, the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt pepper and cornstarch. After beef is browned, sprinkle the seasoning mix over the beef and mix well. Stir in water and simmer until water has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, green chilies and cheese.
- Mix about half of the cheese mixture with the ground beef. Divide the meat mixture evenly between tortillas and roll up. Place in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Repeat for each tortilla. Spoon remaining cheese mixture over the top of the tortillas.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes then serve with desired garnish.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef. 80/20 ground beef is a good choice for this recipe, as it has enough fat to keep the burritos moist and flavorful.
- Season the ground beef well. A good blend of spices will help to give the burritos flavor. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the ground beef until it is browned. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the burritos from being greasy.
- Don't overcook the tortillas. Tortillas that are too cooked will be dry and brittle, and they will break when you try to roll them up.
- Be generous with the cheese. Cheese is what makes these burritos so creamy and delicious. Use a good quality cheddar cheese or a blend of cheeses.
- Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
