Instructions
  1. Add beef, 1 cup enchilada sauce, bouillon, and water to the cooking pot. Press [Pressure Cook] and 30 minutes pressure cooking time. When beep sounds, turn off pressure cooker and use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes and then do a Quick Release to release pressure. When valve drops, carefully remove lid.
  2. Put a tortilla on a rimmed baking tray lined with aluminum foil, add approximately 1/2 cup beef to the center of the tortilla, fold in edges, and roll up into a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top with enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2-4 minutes.

    Reads more like thick enchiladas than smothered burritos. Suggest green chili or red chili rather than enchilada sauce for topping.

    So yummy!! The meat was very tender. My only complaint is that there were no veggies in the mix, so have to supplement with sides. My family loved it! ❤

    Beef was tender and cooked well but rather bland. Tasted like pot roast. Needed something to spice it up. The next night we ate the leftover burritos with pico de gallo, sour cream and taco sauce on top.
    Way better thst way.

    This is the first meal we made in our new IP. We topped them with onions, salsa, sour cream and avocado. We got 5 thumbs up! We’ll make this one again for sure.

    The meat turned out good, i wonder what would happen if i added pepoers and onions to it?

    Also thr sauce was to thin

    The meat was tasty and render

    Excellent!! It was easy to make and it tastes really good! I think the next time I make it, I’ll ad some chilies to the pot to spice up some!

    This is a very nice recipe but i suggest maybe to high light that the roast needs to be cubed. And not a lighter color. Or perhaps start with that as the first instruction. I missed it, I was able to fix the mistake but we had to wait till the following day to finally enjoy this dish.
    Also its very important to use red enchilada sauce as it works best due to the higher fat content in beef.

    Made it with Hatch brand organic medium enchilada sauce and followed directions with one exception, I also added cheese to inside of burrito. Everyone loved it. Only thing is it only made about 8 servings. I followed measurments of 1/2 cup per burrito using measuring cup. I did use a slotted spoon to put into the cup so maybe it would make 12 if you included liquid inside the burrito but i dont think it would be as good that way. Will definitly be making this again.

    Instant hit! Meat was extremely tender. Once done, i drained the sauce from the meat and thicken the rest of the sauce and used it as gravy for another meal. Will definitely make again.

    I thought it was tasty, but drier than I’d like. There was a lot of sauce/liquid left over in pot. It was also thinned out with taste. I’m thinking of not adding the extra 1/2 cup of water and only use the Enchilda sauce. I, too included cheese when i filled burritid.

    Yummy. The leftover liquid will be a terrific soup base. I only got 7 burritos using burrito size tortillas, but my rump roast was only 2.8 pounds.
