We became acquainted with Mexican food after moving to Arizona from the Midwest. I got this beef burrito recipe from my brother-in-law, who ran a Mexican restaurant. —Jacqueline Hergert, Payson, Arizona

Ingredients

2 to 2-1/2 pounds beef top round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (15 ounces) enchilada sauce
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 to 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
8 flour tortillas (10 inches)
Optional: Diced tomatoes, sliced ripe olives, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, shredded lettuce and guacamole

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown meat in oil; drain. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add the enchilada sauce, tomatoes, chilies, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 2 hours.
Combine flour and water; add to beef mixture, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute.
Warm tortillas; spoon 1/2 cup filling, off center, on each one. Fold sides and bottom of tortilla over filling, then roll up. Spoon a little more filling over top of burritos. Serve immediately. If desired, garnish with tomatoes, olives, cheese, sour cream, onions, lettuce and guacamole.
