Easy Chile Colorado Smothered Burritos by Barbara Schieving  
C 
hili Colorado is a very popular, easy slow 
cooker recipe. The original recipe cooks for 
7-8 hours in the slow cooker. The cook time 
in the pressure cooker is only 30 minutes. 
The Frontera Red Chile Enchilada Sauce, which comes 
in 8 ounce packages, is perfect for this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite brand. I 
used a rump roast because it’s leaner than chuck roast, but you could use chuck or 
even stew meat if you prefer. If you have time, you could sear the beef before you 
cook it in the enchilada sauce. You could even cook the roast whole and cut or shred it 
after it’s cooked, just be sure and increase the cooking time. 
This recipe is an easy pressure cooker recipe, perfect for a busy night. The beef freezes 
well, so if I have leftovers, I like to freeze it in Ziploc bags in individual serving sizes for 
quick lunches too. 
Directions: 
1)  Add beef, 1 cup enchilada sauce, bouillon, and water to the cooking pot. Press 
[Manual] and 30 minutes pressure cooking time. When beep sounds, turn off pres-
sure 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.
