Traditional chili Colorado gets a creamy twist in this tasty, slow cooked beef burrito recipe.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Mexican food is easily my family’s favorite cuisine, and these Creamy Chili Colorado Burritos are one of our favorite Mexican inspired meals.
First, as a Colorado resident, I feel obliged to share a bit of a history lesson. Chili Colorado is not actually named after the state I live in.
Colorado is Spanish for “colored red.” The name was given to the Colorado river because of the red sandstone soil of that’s prominent here.
But alas, we did not invent these delicious beef burritos.
But obviously, these burritos also get their name from the fact that the beef filling is colored red, thanks to red enchilada sauce. So there you have it!
What’s really important is that these burritos are amazingly delicious. The beef is slow cooked in red enchilada sauce, along with some onions and garlic.
Then it’s shredded and stuffed into tortillas. Meanwhile, all the sauce from the slow cooker is mixed with a little cream and simmered to make an out-of-this world sauce to smother the burritos.
The beef also makes a great filling for tacos and enchiladas.
Naturally, it’s all topped off with a generous sprinkling of cheese and baked until everything is melted and bubbly. I like to finish things off with a garnish of fresh chopped cilantro.
If you’re a fan of traditional Chili Colorado (and even if you’re not) I think you’re going to love this variation.
I highly recommend serving them with a side of sour cream, pico de gallo and homemade guacamole. Enjoy!

Instructions
- Lightly grease a slow cooker. Cut roast into 3-4 chunks and add to slow cooker, along with enchilada sauce, bullion granules, garlic, and onion.

- Divide the shredded beef evenly between the tortillas. Roll up and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the sauce over the burritos. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce begins to bubble.
- Sprinkle with cilantro before serving. Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole, if desired.
