A luxurious take on smothered burritos, featuring slow-braised short ribs, a complex Hatch chile sauce made with roasted tomatoes, and a finishing touch of crumbled queso fresco.
Sear Short Ribs in Olive oil in a Dutch oven. Remove and set aside. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up browned bits. Add Beef broth, Tomato paste, Thyme, and Bay leaf. Return Short Ribs to the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and braise for 3-4 hours, or until Short Ribs are fork-tender.
Remove Short Ribs and shred meat. Strain braising liquid and set aside.
To make the Sauce, roast Roma tomatoes until softened and slightly charred. Blend roasted tomatoes with Hatch chiles, onion, and Garlic. Sauté in Olive oil for 5 minutes. Add Heavy cream and Chicken broth. Simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine shredded Short Ribs, black beans, and rice.
Warm tortillas. Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the Short Rib mixture.
Roll up burritos tightly. Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour Hatch chile Sauce over burritos, ensuring they are well coated. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Garnish with crumbled Queso Fresco before serving.
