Jalapeno Burritos With Red Chili Gravy

A winner here on the farm. What a day for burritos! And.....red chili *gravy* well this is the beez kneez. We just love this dish. Really like the no added fat as another reviewer mentioned, and in place of one Jalapeno, I used my brand new spanking fresh-from-the-garden chocolate Habanaro pepper. A great taste with a bit of a punch. Everything went together perfectly, as I made the bean filling yesterday, and it had time to meld all flavors into one taste sensation. Secondly, the chili gravy is something to keep in the fridge for a day or so, and is so tasty, I had a hard time not using prior to this recipe. I also used fresh picked corn from the garden, (used 2 medium ears with smaller kernels) and added more fresh cilantro, because we love it. A savory, flavorfull treat for sure, and one that will be made many more times. Thanks, Sharon we loved it!

Yum! This was REALLY good, it almost beats anything you can get at the local mexican restaurants. I added some homemade Spanish rice as well as lettuce and salsa, which made it so much better. Thanks for posting, the sauce is the best.

This just didn't work out for me and I'm totally bummed- I'd been saving this one for awhile! The bean filling was fine. Nothing amazing- it's essentially spiced refried beans. The gravy had an off flavor to me, I believe after adding the flour and olive oil. Olive oil was an odd choice (usually water is used?) and it gave it a kind of rubbery taste to me. Since the burrito itself was plain the gravy really needed to sell it and it didn't.

I'm going to keep this in my cookbook because I want this to work! I'll try again eventually.

Made this and it was way too spicy! I think next time I will only use 1 jalapeno pepper. I couldn't finish it. The sauce was very good.

Loved it. I made two changes to the recipe, but I don't think they changed the outcome much. I cooked the beans in the crockpot all day, then did the beating right in the crock (great tip, by the way!). I also did not add any oil at the end. I just added the flour to a small bit of the gravy and then added it back to the pan. It worked great. I used a whole grain tortilla. This is a keeper for sure. I can see making the beans for other dishes as well. Thanks for posting! Made for the Dec 08 veggie swap.

My family loved these. I loved the fact that there is no added fat in this recipe. I did adjust the spices to suit our personal tastes and did not use the corn. I also sauteed the onion and jalapeno before adding to the beans. I made the sauce but served it on the side for our picky eaters. Thanks for the recipe.

This was really excellent! We made a few substitutions (we were out of pinto beans so we used canned red beans, and we were out of tomato sauce so we used some bland salsa) and doubled the amount of jalapeno (we're spice heads), and we found this to be really tasty. We'll definitely make this again for friends, along with some guacamole and sangria! Thanks for sharing!

These were really fabulous. I did everything as is, except I used more jalapenos for our tastes. Next time I might not use as much corn as I thought it was a bit too overwhelming, but other than that this recipe is a real winner. We sprinkled loads of cheese over the top... we like these cheesy! hehe
