Smothered Burritos – Tex/Mex Finest Comfort Food

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!

Smothered Burritos

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!

  2. Add the taco seasoning and water as directed on the back of the mix. Cook for amount directed.
