Materials

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
14 oz. diced green chilies
1 tsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
10 flour tortillas
3 cups cooked shredded beef, see Notes
28 oz. red enchilada sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly spray bottom of 13 x 9" baking dish.
In a large skillet, add olive oil, onion, chilies, and cumin. Cook over medium heat until onions are soft (about 5 minutes). Stir in flour and sour cream, cook until simmering.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup cheese.
In each tortilla, spoon about 1/4 cup beef and 1/2 cup cheese sauce. Fold sides in, then top and bottom, lay seam-side down.
Pour enchilada sauce over all burritos. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
Spread remaining 2 cups cheese over tops of burritos, cook another 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

Some ideas for the shredded beef: you can either make your own, like I do in the slow cooker (see recipe for Slow Cooker Chuck Roast with Taters -- you won't need the taters), or you can buy pre-cooked shredded beef in the refrigerated section called Del Real Slow Cooked Beef Barbacoa. Beef can also be cooked in the oven, stove top, smoker, etc.
