We had this last Sunday when Steve's oldest (by length of time known, not by his age) friend was visiting from NC. It was easy to throw together, and I pretty much knew we would like it. I have another recipe (Garlic Beef Enchiladas) kind of like this that is fabulous, but it takes a long time because you make the sauce from scratch. So this seemed like it would be a quick easy thing to throw together. We had this with Cilantro Lime Corn, which I will post separately. This one is from Simple & Delicious.
Smothered Burritos
4 10-inch flour tortillas (I had 6 8-inch ones instead)
1 lb ground beef
1 can (10 oz) green enchilada sauce
3/4 cup salsa verde (I couldn't find this this time at Walmart so I used regular salsa-my fave is Pace)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I used shredded Mexican cheese, and I used more than this, probably closer to 2 cups)
Combine enchilada sauce and salsa in a bowl. Cook beef over medium heat in a large skillet until no longer pink; drain. Stir in 1/2 cup sauce mixture.
Spoon beef mixture evenly onto tortillas; sprinkle each with about 3 tbsp cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Transfer to a greased 11x7 baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over burritos; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
I don't know the difference between enchiladas and burritos. These seem more like enchiladas because they have a sauce over them. But I'm no Mexican expert. Whatever you call them, these were very yummy. Everyone liked them, except Nathan. It's already in the keeper book...
