Beef and Bean Burritos


As you can tell, I'm not a red sauce fan, so for the recipe we just used green enchilada sauce.  (we also cooked the beef in some sauce too)  These were super easy, fast, and delicious!
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Ground Beef (we used 1 lb.)
  • ½ whole Medium Onion
  • 1 can (7 Ounce) Mexican Tomato Sauce Or Enchilada Sauce
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Cumin, Oregano, Chili Powder, Garlic To Taste
  • 1 can (28 Ounce) Refried Beans
  • ¾ cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • 12 whole Burrito-sized Flour Tortillas
  • Extra Grated Cheese, For Sprinkling
  • Extra Sauce, For Drizzling
  • Cilantro Leaves, Optional
  • Optional Filling Ingredients: Mexican Rice, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Green Chilies, Pico De Gallo

Directions:

  • Brown ground beef with onion and season to taste. Pour in sauce and simmer over low heat. Add water if mixture gets too dry.
  • Heat refried beans in a saucepan. Add cheese and stir in till melted. Keep warm.
  • Heat tortillas in microwave for one minute.
  • Spread a small amount of beans on each tortilla. Add meat. Fold over ends, then roll up. Place two burritos on a microwave-safe plate. Drizzle red sauce over the top and sprinkle with more grated cheddar. Microwave for one minute, or until cheese is melted and burritos are very hot. Serve immediately.
  • OPTIONAL: Fill burritos with any optional ingredients you like. (I love them full, but my boys like them very plain.)
