Prep Time: 30-40 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
- 2.5 lbs Ground Beef
- 3 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup red pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup Russet potatoes, cubed

- 2 tablespoons Anaheim pepper, chopped
- 1 cup Mexican red sauce

Directions:

- Cover tortillas with Sofrito sauce and bake in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and spoon cheese sauce (recipe below) over burritos.

Those look so delicious and so beautiful too! I am a lover of burritos. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty!
Hello! I have a few questions about this drool-worthy recipe. 1. I see beans in the pictures, but not listed in the ingredients or directions. 2. How much cheese is used for the burritos? (It’s mentioned in the directions, but not listed in the ingredients.) 3. Is it really 2.5 pounds meat (plus additional meat-mixture ingredients) but only 1/2 cup meat mixture per burrito? 4. Mexican red sauce? Is that the same as enchilada sauce, or, if not, can you recommend a brand or 2 so I know what to look for? Thanks so much!
Yummy! We love burritos and this recipe look really good. I know my son would love it for dinner soon! Thank you for sharing with Delicious Dishes Recipe Party this week! Hope to see you again for another party tomorrow!
