I have tried all kinds of rolled tortilla combinations, chicken or beef, corn or flour tortillas, and green or red sauce. One of my favorite combinations is shredded beef, rolled in a flour tortilla, covered in a red chili sauce, topped with cheese. Because I used flour tortillas, we will refer to them as smothered burritos but you can call them whatever you like.
Here is another delicious meal you can make with the leftover roast from my post: Day 1 Roast, Carrots & Potatoes - Day 2 Shredded Beef Tacos. If you would prefer to fill these with chicken, try this recipe for Slow-cooker Shredded Chicken.
Smothered Shredded
Beef Burritos
½ c margarine or butter
½ c flour
¼ c chili powder
1 T cumin
1 t salt
1 t black pepper
3 c water
12 fajita sized flour tortillas
2 c shredded cheddar-jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350o and spray a 10x15” baking
pan with cooking spray. In a sauce pan,
melt margarine over medium heat. Stir in
flour, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
Once combined, slowly stir in water.
Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until sauce thickens. Dip tortillas into sauce, place meat down the
center and roll. Place into the baking
pan seam side down. Cover with remaining
sauce and cheese. Bake for about 20
minutes or until cheese melts and sauce is bubbly.
Makes 12 burritos
These look awesome and delicious, thanks for sharing

MMmmm... I must say. These are good. Not super healthy but good. I do think they are a little healthier than what you may eat out. ;)
