Smothered Burritos Recipe

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 pint sour cream
  • 4 large flour tortillas, or more as needed
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and green chiles in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add water, chili powder, salt, red pepper flakes, cumin, and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer. Stir refried beans into beef mixture and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  3. Mix cream of mushroom soup and sour cream together in a bowl.
  4. Fill each tortilla with beef mixture and roll tortilla around filling. Arrange burritos in the prepared baking dish; top with sour cream mixture.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Cover burritos with Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
