### **Instructions**
#### 1. **Make the Chile Colorado Sauce**
* Toast the dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes.
* Simmer chiles in broth for 10 minutes until soft. Blend with onion, garlic, and cumin until smooth.
* Strain sauce if needed for extra smoothness.
#### 2. **Cook the Beef**
* In a pot or skillet, heat oil and brown the beef chunks.
* Pour the chile sauce over the beef, cover, and simmer for 1.5–2 hours until tender. Add water or broth as needed.
#### 3. **Assemble the Burritos**
* Fill tortillas with beef (and refried beans, if using). Roll up and place in a greased baking dish.
#### 4. **Make the Creamy Sauce**
* In a small bowl, mix enchilada sauce with sour cream and heavy cream. Pour over the burritos.
#### 5. **Bake**
* Top with cheese and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
#### 6. **Serve & Enjoy**
* Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or a drizzle of lime juice. Serve with rice, beans, or a fresh green salad.

### **Tips & Variations**
* **Spice Level**: Use fewer chiles or a milder enchilada sauce to tone down the heat.
* **Short on Time?** Use leftover roast or rotisserie chicken instead of cooking from scratch.
* **Add Veggies**: Include sautéed bell peppers, onions, or even spinach in the filling.
* **Make Ahead**: Assemble burritos and refrigerate or freeze before baking.
