Ingredients

1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules

2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 3 or 4 chunks

2 garlic cloves, chopped

Salt and black pepper to taste

½ cup onion, diced

1 jar Ortega Chile Colorado sauce

Instructions

Sprinkle beef bouillon granules over the beef chunks. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add beef chunks and sear on all sides until browned.

Add chopped garlic and diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in the Ortega Chile Colorado sauce, ensuring the beef is fully coated. Stir to combine.

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Remove the beef from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir to mix with the sauce.

Warm tortillas and add a generous amount of the beef mixture. Roll the burritos, folding in the sides as you go.

Top with sour cream, cheese, guacamole, or salsa for extra flavor.

Notes

Add beans: For extra heartiness, add black beans, refried beans, or pinto beans to the filling.

Spicy option: For extra heat, add jalapeños or chili flakes to the beef mixture or top with spicy salsa.

Cheese: Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend can be added inside the burritos or on top.
