Beef (or pork), and bean Burritos... "sort of" (I use flour tortillas and enchilada sauce... call them what you will)
If you have a pressure cooker (and if you don't you should.... but I digress), cut a small roast, about 2.5# (cross rib,chuck, whatever), into 6 equal sized pieces and pressure cook in beef broth/stock, a little red wine and season with a package of Taco seasoning (it's just cumin, chile powder with a little garlic and pepper),for 45 minutes. Place the meat on a cutting board and gently shred it with a fork, it will fall apart. If no PC is available throw it into a crock pot for enough hours to create shredded beef and BTW: this recipe works just fine with pork.
Heat one can of refried beans, the microwave works just fine here, smear a tablespoon of beans on a flour tortilla, add shredded beef, chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro, grated cheddar cheese and one tablespoon of enchilada sauce (canned or mix - I make mine from scratch with chicken stock, tomato paste, taco seasoning-google it). Roll the tortilla up and place sideways into a 9" X 13" baking dish - you can usually get 8 or 9 in depending on how thick you make them.
Smother the burritos with the remaining sauce and a layer of grated cheese (just sprinkle any leftover onion, tomatoes. cilantro on top). Place in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes and prepare to be amazed. Allow them to cool about 5 minutes and then slice right down the middle splitting the 9 burritos into 18. Serve with sour creme, guacamole and your favorite salsa/hot sauce. The texture and flavor are amazing and since you have a lot know that they freeze like a dream (actually better the second time).
