Ingredients for Smothered Burritos<\/h2>\n
Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. In a small bowl, mix the enchilada sauce and salsa verde.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until it’s no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain off any liquid, then stir in 1\/2 cup of the sauce mixture.<\/p>\n Spoon 2\/3 cup of the beef mixture across the center of each tortilla, then top each with 3 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the bottom and sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up the burrito.<\/p>\n Place the filled burritos into a greased 11×7-inch baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce mixture over the top, then sprinkle them with the remaining 3\/4 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve the burritos hot, with your favorite toppings.<\/p>\n Keep any leftovers in the baking pan. Once they’re completely cool, cover the top of the pan with aluminum foil, then place the pan in the fridge. The burritos will keep this way for three to four days.<\/p>\n To reheat smothered burritos, place the covered baking pan in the oven, keeping the heat low, around 300\u00b0. The trick is to heat them low and slow, which will prevent the burritos from drying out. Heat them until they’re bubbling and warmed through. You can also reheat burritos individually in the microwave or in a skillet on the stovetop, but the texture will change slightly.<\/p>\n While you do want these to be positively smothered in delicious sauce and cheese, if you use too much, you’ll be left with soggy burritos. The trick is to use just enough for flavor and juicy, gooey goodness, but not so much that the tortillas become soggy.<\/p>\n Yes, you can swap the flour tortillas for corn. This can also help with any sogginess, and it’ll add additional flavor. This is also a fine swap for gluten-free burritos\u2014just double-check that the sauces are gluten-free.<\/p>\n Because you’re precooking the beef, there’s no need to worry about the smothered burritos being fully cooked. As soon as the cheese is melted and bubbling, you should be good to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My brother-in-law teased that I only knew five ground beef recipes.

Didn't your parents teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your pie holes shut? Cooking is fun and such negativity is totally unnecessary. You act as if you're chefs in Michelin-rated restaurants expecting the arrival of an inspector. Bottom line, Kim was generous enough to share a solid recipe she developed. Some will enjoy as written while others can use it as a base for their own creativity and taste. But, to address some of you food critics, chuck in the opinion of many, is the best beef grind because the additional fat gives it more flavor. Furthermore, the recipe called for draining BEFORE adding the spices, not after. Burritos are NOT made with corn tortillas. They don't make corn tortillas big enough for burritos, so criticizing the use of flour tortillas to make burritos is just weird. What you made wasn't burritos, just a version of enchiladas. Red or green sauce is nothing more than a personal preference. Also, if you're an experienced cook you should be capable of looking at a recipe and knowing if you and\/or your family will appreciate more or less spice then proceeding to make the appropriate adjustments based on personal taste. Not everyone likes heat and if you know anything about Mexican cuisine you know that every dish isn't \"spicy\". It's a cuisine with a wide range of flavors, using many spices that aren't necessarily spicy. Flavor, not just heat is what a dish good, and if you have to have heat, nothing's stopping you from putting a bowl of peppers on the table. So 4 stars for sharing a solid recipe and creativity. Thank you, Kim.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-04-12","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"adrian678"},"reviewBody":"they were so good","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-12-15","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"ja1059"},"reviewBody":"This is SO simple, and excellent!
