Burrito meat
I have tried just using ground beef with no spices and make a burrito.
It doesn't turn out very well. I have been using pot roast for the beef and that works pretty well, but I have made all the pot roast I want for a while. Anyone want to suggest some spices to add to ground beef to work for a burrito? I put salsa and sour cream on top, but I get the feeling that the meat itself needs some kind of sauce or spice. |

Burrito meat
This is what I use for ground beef enchiladas -- Would think you could
use the same ground beef mixture for burritos but serve dry or wet with rice etc. RED CHILE SAUCE for Enchiladas (can be halved - makes a bunch) 4 cups beef broth (*canned or boulion in water) 4 TBL chile powder (3 TBL Chile powder and 1 TBL Chipotle) ¼ tsp granulated garlic powder 1 tsp ground cumin 4 TBL cornstarch in 5 TBL water Combine 1st four items in sauce pan. bring to boil and simmer 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch and cold water and add, stirring to thicken. Boil about a minute. ENCHILADA Filling (OR BURRITO) 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 ½ lbs. lean ground beef ½ cup Red Chile Sauce saute onion, garlic & beef in pan until beef is cooked. Add Red Chile Sauce, simmer to combine flavors. ASSEMBLY: dip tortillas in Red Chile Sauce, put filling across and roll tightly. Place side by side in baking dish. Pour desired amount of sauce over enchiladas, sprinkle with cheese, sliced green onions & sliced black olives. Heat in 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve with add'l sauce, sour cream, and avocado on bed of chopped lettuce.

Fry some ground beef with some finely chopped onion, a couple cloves of garlic, drain fat and add salt, pepper, chilli powder, cumin, some cinnamon, a bit of sugar, a splash of vinegar and about 1/2 cup of ketchup, then add a little water and let it simmer until it isn't wet any more. You can throw a few raisin in there too. |

For a pound and a half of beef, three fat cloves, smashed first then diced. Put them in while you are browning the meat, but toward the end. You want them cooked but not browned hard. Brown some diced onions in there too! Then just chili powder, added to the beef and onions and garlic. It will be perfect. |

The same sorts of seasonings you'd put in chili or tacos. A little refried bean paste is good for texture and flavor too. Maybe half a can with a pound of meat, and freeze the rest in plastic for later. Dawn |

Use the others' suggestions for spices. And use plenty of salt. That should cure any blandness. > > Anyone want to suggest some spices to add to ground beef to work for a > burrito? > > I put salsa and sour cream on top, but I get the feeling that the meat > itself needs some kind of sauce or spice. > |

Lots of good ideas for spices already mentioned. Meatwise, try steak instead of ground beef. Thinly sliced grilled flank is my preference. -- Reg |

Burrito meat
If you are really lazy, just use a packaged taco seasoning. Burritos are so easy to do properly! You should have all the spices in your cupboard. You can always look it up in a cookbook. |

Since burrito is a very ancient dish, first introduced sometime in the dark ages of the 1930s when asses were yet untamed, only a completely wild ass is acceptable in an authentic burrito. Victor |
