I love Tex/Mex food! I got this Smothered Burritos recipe from a good friend of mine several years ago. It’s very easy to make and soooo good! Super creamy and yummy with just the right amount of kick!
I’m sharing one of my family’s favorite dinner recipes: Smother Burritos with cheese and rotel.
I like to serve it with some red rice. Definitely worthy of adding to the regular rotation!
This is my idea of what New Mexico comfort food is!

Smothered Burritos
These burritos are filled with a delicious ground beef and refried beans mixture then topped with tangy cheese and rotel tomato sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 16 ounces refried beans
- 1 green pepper chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes & chilies undrained
- 1 taco seasoning mix
- 2 lbs Velveeta cheese I use low fat
- 20 flour tortillas may use less depending on how much filling you put in
Instructions
- Cook the beef, onion, and green pepper until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain.
- Add the taco seasoning and water as directed on the back of the mix. Cook for amount directed.
- Stir in the refried beans.
- Cube the Velveeta and put in microwavable bowl. Microwave for a minute or two, add the rotel, stir, and microwave again until melted stirring every minute or so.
- Put 1-1/2 cup cheese mixture into the beef. Set other cheese aside for end.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave.
- Put 1/2 cup or more of the cheese/beef mixture into each tortilla. Roll and place in greased 13x9 pan. (You will probably need 2 pans for this.)
- Put the rest of the cheese on top.
- Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
