Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 8 large flour tortillas
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced beef and cook until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce.
- To assemble the burritos, place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto a flour tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and beef mixture.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the burritos in the baking dish, making sure to cover them completely.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the burritos.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the smothered beef burritos hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
