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!

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 cuts of beef: For the best results, use a flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck roast. These cuts are flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder, or try one of the more complex marinades provided in the article.
  • Cook the beef properly: The key to great beef burritos is to cook the beef until it is tender and flavorful. You can cook the beef in a skillet, on a griddle, or in the oven. Just be sure to cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your burritos. Be sure to use fresh, ripe vegetables and high-quality cheese and salsa.
  • Assemble the burritos carefully: When assembling the burritos, be sure to spread the fillings evenly across the tortilla. This will help to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Serve the burritos immediately: Beef burritos are best served immediately after they are assembled. This will help to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
