Chili Smothered Burritos are made with frozen burritos covered with sliced cheese and chili gravy and then topped with shredded cheese. To make them a little spicy, add jalapeno slices.
Super Easy Smothered Burritos
Super Easy Smothered Burritos are ideal for a busy weeknight meal. Pair them with Mexican rice and a salad, and your family will beg to have them in your meal rotation.
When my children were school age, Chili Smothered Burritos were on our monthly menu rotation several times.
We would have them on a weeknight that would be a busy one. We would have them before a Friday night football game and before going to Wednesday night prayer.
I always serve them with Mexican Salad and Spanish Rice.
That was what you might call a ritual. We couldn't have one without the other.
I remember when my son was going to Baylor, and he would call home, and before I could get off the phone, he would ask what we were having for supper.
I would say Chili Smothered Burritos….and he would say…with Mexican Salad and Spanish Rice? He knew the answer.
He still requests this menu when he brings his family home for a visit. Recently, I added Sopapilla Cheesecake for our dessert. Keeping the Mexican theme going!
These are not only easy to make but also super easy to make. Do you want it fast? You got fast. It takes less than ten minutes to bring them together, and then you pop them in the oven.
Yum! I am drooling just writing this post.
This wonderful recipe keeps you out of fast food restaurants and your family at the dinner table.
Don't forget to buy your frozen burritos and have them available when you can make this recipe.
Hope you get to make some soon. Enjoy!

TIPS AND TIDBITS TO MAKE THE BEST CHILI SMOTHERED BURRITOS
Burritos. You can use any brand of frozen burritos, but I prefer the Monterrey frozen burritos. There is no need to thaw the burritos.
Chili. You can use homemade chili or canned chili. I prefer the Wolf Brand Chili without beans if you use canned chili.
On the lighter side. You can substitute the chili for red or green enchilada sauce.
Serve with your favorite toppings. You can serve the burritos with toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, chunky salsa, or extra jalapenos.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon onion flakes over the top of each slice of cheese.

Love how easy these are Kay! And they sound delicious:)
ReplyDeleteI make these with enchalida sauce and shredded cheese. They are wonderful! Oh, and we use the chimichanga thicker burritos too. I have never tried it with chili. Will have to thanks!
ReplyDeleteI make them with enchilada sauce, top with shredded cheese and black olives, then sprinkle green onion on top before serving... my husband always says, these are frozen burritos? like he can't believe frozen can taste so good. He loves chili so I'm going to try it this way.
ReplyDeleteNow I am hungry!! This is a fantastic recipe! Thanks for sharing with us at Weekend Potluck!!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one to make something like this! Amazing variation to the way I make it. I do almost everything you do except in place of the slice of cheese, I layer sour cream over the burritos THEN put my onions and chili on top of that. Either way, I will try your way the next time I make this. Thanks for sharing. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I didn't have any taco sauce so I used enchilada sauce and salsa. Topped it with cheese and my grandkids loved it! Thanks for the great idea. Do you have any recipes for pizza rolls?
