2lb beef (ground sirloin or chuck cut into 1" cubes)
brown in large pot and remove
add 1 chopped bell pepper and onion of choice
sautee in beef fat
add 3-5 cloves minced garlic, toasted and ground peppers/cumin seed(I eyeball it, but about 2-3 anchos, and about 6 medium hot like guajilo and new mexico)
sautee for 30-60 secs
deglaze with 12oz bottle dark beer (I use brown ale)
Add 1 28oz can diced tomato (I use fire roasted), 1 can black beans, 1 can pinto beans, and meat back to pot. Omit beans if you're a queer from TX
Salt, pepper, other spices you want (I do smoked paprika, dried oregano, fish sauce, 1 minced habanero for heat, cayenne for heat at end if needed.
Simmer until done, and about 15-30 minutes before that, I add 2 diced jalapenos because I still want them somewhat vegetal and crunchy.

It's not bad. Burritos aren't really a great food to begin with. "Authentic" Mexican ones unironically aren't very good, and compound that with most Mexican places use the cheapest and lowest quality ingredients that they possibly can only makes it worse. There was definitely a burrito place fad for a while 5-10 years ago, and honestly many of them weren't very good, or only about the same quality as Chipotle. Then really the only other thing left are higher quality Mexican/Tex-Mex places, but their burritos are delicious, but unhealthy as fuck and loaded with cheese, refried beans, and then probably loaded up with cheese and sour cream. Chiptole is good in it's own way, but it's a lighter and "healthier" burrito. I usually just get a bowl and skip the cheese when I want something that isn't horrible when I'm out. I wish they had a hotter salsa though, their hottest "red" one is only like a 3.5/10 on my heat scale. You can tell it was made for basic white bitches that think the pico is spicy.
