Saucy, cheesy smothered chile colorado burritos made in 30 minutes. The sauce is so good you'll want to eat it straight from the pan.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flank steak or similar beef (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 2 10-ounce cans mild or medium red enchilada sauce
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce ((from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, found near the canned jalapeños))
  • 1 anaheim pepper (diced)
  • 1 15-ounce can diced green chiles
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Saute beef in a large sauce pan over medium heat until tender.

  2. 2

    Add enchilada sauce and next 8 ingredients (through cumin) to the pan. Whisk together water and corn starch in a small bowl, add to pan and stir. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for another 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add black beans and a generous amount of beef mixture to the middle of each tortilla. Wrap up tightly and place seam-side-down in a greased baking dish. Top with additional sauce from the beef mixture and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly, then serve.
