Ingredients

For the beef burritos:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (2-pound) beef chuck roast, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
1 poblano pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, chopped
1 (19-ounce) can enchilada sauce
8 flour tortillas, burrito-size
1 (16-ounce) can refried beans, warmed
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Optional toppings:

Directions

Step 1 -In a large skillet, add the oil and the beef cubes and cook until they are browned.

Step 2 -In a slow cooker, add the browned beef cubes, the onions, the poblano peppers, the garlic, and the jalapeños, then cover with the enchilada sauce.

Step 3 -Cover the slow cooker and cook the beef mixture until the meat is fork-tender, about 4 hours on high heat or about 7-8 hours on low heat.

Step 4 -Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 5 -Use two forks to shred the beef cubes, then reserve all but 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid in a glass measuring cup for pouring over the burritos.

Step 6 -Lay the tortillas out and evenly top each with the refried beans and the beef mixture.

Step 7 -Fold up the burritos and place seam-side down on a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 8 -Top the burritos with the cheese and the reserved cooking liquid.

Step 9 -Bake the burritos until they are hot and the cheese has melted, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 10 -Serve the burritos topped with the sour cream, tomatoes, and the cilantro.
