Ingredients

  • 1 can refried beans
  • 1 pound ground beef browned
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 8 flour tortillas see note
  • 1 cup grated chedder cheese more is always better!
  • sour cream optional
  • chopped cilantro optional
  • diced tomatoes optional

Instructions

  • Ground beef and add a package of taco seasoning as package directs. Like I said this is almost always already done and sitting in my fridge which makes this process more like 5 minutes from beginning to end!
  • Lay tortillas out flat, use as many as you have hungry people to feed!
  • Open a can of refried beans and spread some beans down the edges of each tortilla.
  • Spoon ground beef over beans.
  • Sprinkle lots of cheese on top. You could use pepper jack, Colby jack, Monterey Jack, or good old cheddar. Just use lots!
  • Tuck the edges over and roll them up.
  • Place burritos seam side down on a microwavable plate.
  • Microwave for a minute, or until cheese is melted and burrito is warmed through.
  • Garnish with sour cream, cilantro and tomatoes if desired.
  • NOTE:
  • This recipe is easy to make a few or several burritos at one time. If I'm making just a few and have leftover beef and beans I stick them in the fridge for another day.
