The beauty of this recipe, other than the fact that it is heart healthy, packed with protein, and simple, is that you can use whatever leftover meat you happen to have on hand from earlier in the week, as well as whatever type of beans and sauce you happen to have in your pantry. Don’t have leftover roast? Shred up that leftover chicken breast. Have some brisket left over from the weekend? Use that and pair it with pinto beans. The possibilities are literally endless with this simple recipe!

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Yield: 6 burritos

Serving Size: 1 burrito

Heart Healthy Shredded Beef Burritos

Ingredients

  • 1-2 lb shredded beef (we used leftover roast beef that was cooked in the slow cooker seasoned with Mrs. Dash seasonings)
  • 1 16-oz can no salt added black beans, drained
  • 1 10-oz can No Salt Added Ro*tel®, drained
  • 1 can enchinada sauce or low-sodium salsa
  • 6 jalapeño cheddar flour tortillas (large)
  • 1 + 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided
  • Avocados, jalapeños, tomatoes for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  2. Shred your leftover beef and add to a large bowl.
  3. Add beans and Ro*tel® to the bowl, then add 1 cup shredded cheese, and stir lightly to combine all.
  4. Lay your tortillas out flat and place mixture down the center of the tortillas in about a 2" strip, leaving enough room at the ends to fold.
  5. Fold one end in over the mixture, roll vertically, then tuck in the other end and place in a greased baking dish. Continue until all burritos are made.
  6. Top with enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
  7. Bake, uncovered, at 375ºF for 30 minutes or until cheese is slightly golden and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with avocado chunks, tomato chunks, and jalapeños, optional.
  9. Enjoy immediately or reheat leftovers the next day!

Notes

Home Chef Tip: Follow this same recipe using whatever leftover meat you might have in your refrigerator like pork, brisket, or chicken. You can also use whatever canned beans you may have in the pantry to change up the flavor and avoid a trip to the grocery store!
