Chuck roast braised with chipotle and tomato until it shreds, rolled with refried beans, rice and roasted poblano strips in a big flour tortilla, then toasted on a hot griddle to seal it shut.

A burrito lives or dies by its filling-to-tortilla ratio and how well it holds together. Braise the beef until it falls apart, then reduce the liquid so the meat is saucy but never wet, or the tortilla will tear. Warm each tortilla so it folds without cracking, roll it tight, and set it seam-side down on a hot griddle to lock it closed. The shredded beef freezes beautifully, so consider doubling the batch; you will have fast lunches for weeks.
