Beer Braised Tri Tip Burritos
These Beer Braised Tri Tip Burritos have layers of flavor starting with the delicious Tri Tip! Make a BIG batch of burritos and freeze, for busy weeknight dinners or as a grab and go lunch.
Cooking the Tri Tip low and slow allows the meat to become tender and juicy. Adding bell pepper, cilantro and Mexican beer give the meat great flavor.
With layers of rice, beans, meat, sour cream and Roasted Salsa. This burrito could easily be classified as my husband likes to say “a 5 pounder”.
How about serving a big glass of Alcohol Free Sangria to wash it down.

These look super yummy Sheryl! The bacon and Mexican beer really amp up the flavor. pinned. I agree with your husband. These look ginormous, lol. But so much yummier and healthier then the tiny store bought burritos. Have a great weekend!
Those look amazing Sheryl, now if I could only buy tri-tip in Iowa!! I have been here for almost 15 years, and they still look at me like I am crazy when I ask for it. Pinned for when I move back the the real world. 😉
I know Lisa, It’s a California cut. I’m happy I can get it in Arizona. It’s our favorite cut. You could use brisket. 🙂
Great post! Have nice day ! 🙂 tchbt
Thanks Thomas!
