Burrito Supreme
A flavorful Mexican-inspired burrito with seasoned red chile pork, fresh vegetables, guacamole, and cheese wrapped in warm tortillas, perfect for a satisfying meal or casual gathering.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Warm tortillas on grill or in a skillet until slightly browned.
- Cook the carne adovada (red chile pork meat) until done in a skillet.
- Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of meat into each tortilla.
- Add a heaping teaspoon of sour cream and guacamole inside each tortilla.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of red chile sauce over the folded, stuffed tortilla.
- Sprinkle chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and grated Cheddar cheese over the red chile sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoky flavor, try adding a dash of chipotle powder to the carne adovada. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with black beans or sautéed vegetables. To save time, use store-bought guacamole or sour cream. Warm tortillas in a microwave between damp paper towels for a quick method. Consider pairing these burritos with Hot Tamale Dip for an extra treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Burrito Supreme with a side of Spanish rice and refried beans for a complete meal. A fresh salad dressed with lime vinaigrette pairs well, adding brightness to the dish. For a fun twist, offer sides like Creamy Salsa Dip for dipping, or try serving with homemade tortilla chips for crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze Burrito Supremes for later?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled burritos before adding toppings like lettuce and tomatoes. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven or microwave.
What can I use instead of carne adovada?
If you want a different protein, shredded chicken or beef works well. For a vegetarian version, consider using seasoned lentils or crumbled tofu. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure everything is heated through and flavorful.
How can I make these burritos spicier?
To add more heat, mix some diced jalapeños or sliced serrano peppers into the carne adovada. You can also use a spicier red chile sauce or add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the fillings. Serve with a side of salsa made with fresh chilies for an extra kick.
