How to make Smothered Ribeye Burritos
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 – Cut the ribeye into thin slices.
Step 3 – Add the steak to a large skillet over medium-high heat and season with garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4 – In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and enchilada sauce. Whisk together until mixed well, and cook over medium heat until heated through. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
Step 5 – Divide the meat mixture into 2 portions in the pan.
Step 6 – Place each large flour tortilla on a plate and place 1/2 of the steak mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Step 7 – Top each with a little bit of the cheese.
Step 8 – Roll burrito leaving the ends open or tuck them in like an envelope.
Step 9 – Spray two oven-safe plates or into one 8×8 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Place rolled burritos seam-side down on the prepared baking dish.
Step 10 – Pour the sauce equally over the tops of the burritos.
Step 11 – Top with the remaining cheese, divided evenly.
Step 12 – Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted.
Step 13 – Top the baked burritos with more lettuce, tomato, sour cream, or your choice of toppings.
