Ingredients

2 ½ Pounds Ground Beef

2 Packets Taco Seasoning

1 ½ teaspoons Better than Beef Bouillon

1 Bottle Dr Pepper (12 oz)

1 Cup Water

3 Tablespoons Butter

2 Tablespoons Flour

1 ½ Cups Beef Stock

1 Can Red Enchilada Sauce (19 oz)

1 teaspoon Chili Powder

4 Tortillas (large burrito size)

4 Cups Mexican Cheese Blend

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat a large skillet to medium heat and then add the ground beef and brown. Drain fat.

Stir the taco seasoning (*see note) into the meat, along with the better than bouillon.

Pour in the Dr Pepper and water, stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid is almost incorporated.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the flour and then the stock, then the enchilada sauce (**see note) and chili powder. Simmer until thickened.

Spoon 1/4 of the beef into the center of a tortilla and add a small sprinkle of cheese (the rest is used on top).

Wrap the burrito up and place on an oven-safe plate. Pour sauce over the top and top with 3/4 cup shredded cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Top with your favorite toppings (see note). Serve immediately.
