Preparation

1. Prepare the Fillings

If you're using shredded chicken or beef, ensure it's cooked and shredded. Set aside.

2. Heat the Sauces

In a small saucepan, heat the Chile Verde sauce until warm. In another saucepan, heat the Chile Colorado sauce until bubbling.

Assemble the Burritos

1. Fill the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet. Place a portion of shredded chicken or beef in the center of each tortilla.

2. Add Chile Verde Sauce

Spoon a generous amount of Chile Verde sauce over the filling in each tortilla.

3. Roll the Burritos

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a burrito.

Final Assembly

1. Smother with Chile Colorado

Place the rolled burritos in a baking dish, then pour the heated Chile Colorado sauce over the top.

2. Add Cheese

Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top of the burritos.

3. Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

4. Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot, topped with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado if desired.
