Ingredients Needed:
- 2 lb. Ground Beef
- ½ Medium Onion
- 1 can (7 oz) Mexican Tomato Sauce or Enchilada Sauce
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Cumin, Oregano, Chili Powder, Garlic, to taste
- 1 can (28 oz) Refried Beans
- ¾ cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 12 Burrito-sized Flour Tortillas
- Extra Grated Cheese, for sprinkling
- Extra Sauce, for drizzling
- Cilantro Leaves (optional)
How To Make Beef And Bean Burritos:
- Cook the beef: Brown the ground beef with the chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and garlic to taste. Stir in the tomato sauce or enchilada sauce and simmer on low. Add a splash of water if the mixture becomes too dry.
- Prepare the beans: In a separate saucepan, heat the refried beans. Add the grated cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Keep warm.
- Heat the tortillas: Warm the tortillas by microwaving them for about one minute, until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the burritos: Spread a small portion of the refried beans onto each tortilla, followed by a scoop of the beef mixture. Fold the sides of the tortillas inward, then roll them up tightly.
- Serve the burritos: Place two burritos on a microwave-safe plate. Drizzle extra sauce over the top and sprinkle with additional grated cheese. Microwave for about one minute, or until the cheese is melted and the burritos are hot. Serve immediately.
Optional: Add any of your favorite fillings, like Mexican rice, sour cream, guacamole, or pico de gallo, before rolling up the burritos.
Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcook the beef: Cook the ground beef until it’s browned but still juicy. Overcooking can make the beef dry.
- Warm the tortillas properly: Heating tortillas for one minute in the microwave makes them soft and easier to roll without tearing.
- Balance the seasoning: Taste your meat mixture as it cooks, adding more seasoning if necessary to ensure a flavorful filling.
- Melt the cheese in beans: Stir the cheese into the beans while they are warm to create a creamy and smooth texture for the burrito filling.
- Don’t overfill the burritos: Adding too much filling can make the burritos hard to roll and cause them to break.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
Storing in the Fridge: Place any leftover burritos in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Burritos can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, unwrap the burrito and microwave for 1-2 minutes until fully heated. If reheating from frozen, microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until heated through.
