These savory burritos are our hands-down favorite way to use up leftover roast beef. From start to finish, supper can be ready in 30 minutes with this quick skillet meal.
Roast Beef Burritos
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1 T. cooking oil
- 2-3 cups chopped roast beef
- 2 chopped tomatoes (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
- 1 (8 oz.) bottle taco sauce
- 1 (10 oz.) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- flour tortillas
- shredded lettuce
- shredded cheddar cheese
In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the beef, tomatoes, taco sauce, Rotel, and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until thickened.
Spoon filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll up. Top with lettuce and cheese.

This looks delicious!
Did I miss something? Where’s the roast beef in the ingredients list? How much? diced or shredded?
@unfinishedmom, Ack! Looks like that’d be ME that missed something. Added it. Thanks for catching that (rather important!) goof!
We love taco night at our house…I eat it in a salad, Joe eats his in a tortilla just like this. I love your idea of putting it all in a skillet together. Looks so good.
Thanks for sharing this on Slightly Indulgent Mondays!
Yum Yum!!!! That looks delicious! I love getting more than one meal out of leftovers!
This sounds delish! I love trying recipes with leftovers!
I think you have made reference to these burritos before. Sounded good then and great now. I am hungry!!
GREAT!!! recipe for something so simple. My family loves burritos. Geri
Great way to use left over roast beef
These look terrific. Lots of beef sales right now and makeovers (leftovers made into something else) are always appreciated around here
Blessings!

You know, I’ve never thought of using leftover roast beef this way. What a good idea! Plus, I like roast beef better than ground beef/chuck. Thanks for the tip.
Happy Foodie Friday…
