Living in Arizona, we enjoy all sorts of foods with Southwestern flair, such as these beef-stuffed tortillas. The recipe is easy to make and easy to serve—folks can assemble their own burritos with their choice of garnishes. — Amy Martin, Waddell, Arizona

A family favorite. Requested time and again by my grown children & their spouses.

I've made these several times...making again today! They have such great flavor, I do add a bit more hot sauce than called for. If you don't have cans of green chilies, but have cans of diced tomatoes with chilies, those work as well. The beef mixture freezes well, as it makes alot.

My children love these! I made them with venison, and halved the recipe. I mixed leftover rice, corn and some pinto beans in with the leftovers and made regular burritos for dinner the next night.

I adapted recipe for the crockpot and also wanted to make it spicier. I used fire roasted tomatoes and then also added taco sauce, sprinkled the beef w/ taco seasoning, used red pepper & also added smoked paprika.
