Ingredients 

  • 1 1/2 pounds stew meat
  • 1 (19 oz) can red enchilada sauce I use El Paso Mild Brand
  • 2 beef bullion cubes
  • 15 ounces refried beans more if desired
  • 6 (10 inch) tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  • Put beef pieces into crock pot. Top with crushed bouillon cubes and enchilada sauce. Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until meat is very tender.
  • When beef is done (very tender and flakes off when stirred), taste and add more salt, if desired.
  • Make sure beans are warmed through. You can use canned refried beans or the recipe I provided you with.
  • Smear about 2 heaping spoons worth of beans on to the center of each tortilla. Add about 1/2 cup of beef, give or take, and roll into a burrito.
  • Place burritos into a greased 9x13 baking pan until it fills the pan. Pour some of extra sauce over the tops of the burritos to smother them. Place cheese on top.
  • Broil until cheese becomes bubbly, approx. 2-4 minutes.
  • This recipe makes about 5-7 burritos depending on how big you make them.
