Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium onion, diced
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
Three 7-ounce cans Mexican tomato sauce (I use El Patobrand) or enchilada sauce
One 28-ounce can refried beans
3/4 cup grated Cheddar, plus extra for sprinkling
12 burrito-size flour tortillas
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 170 to 180 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions until softened. Then add the ground beef and cook until the beef is cooked through. Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano and salt and stir to combine. Pour 2 cans of the Mexican tomato sauce into the meat and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Add a little water if the mixture gets too dry.
  • Meanwhile, heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cheese, and stir it in till its melted. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute, and then spread a small amount of beans on each tortilla. Add a small amount of the meat. Fold over the ends of the tortilla, and then roll them up. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Then place them in a large baking dish, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven.
  • When ready to serve, drizzle the remaining can of tomato sauce over all of the burritos and sprinkle with more grated Cheddar. Return to the oven for a couple of minutes just to melt the cheese.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the cilantro leaves and serve immediately to the fork-bangers in your life. They'll kiss you and hug you. Repeatedly.

REFRIED BEAN BURRITOS



Refried Bean Burritos image

These are quick and fairly healthy if made with low fat ingredients, add some rice if you want to stretch them farther or just go with basic bean and cheese.

Provided by JMS0173

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (14 ounce) can refried beans (I use fat free)
1 teaspoon chili powder or 1 teaspoon ground dried chile
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 -5 dashes garlic powder
hot sauce
1 cup hot cooked rice (I usually omit) (optional)
8 ounces cheddar cheese or 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded or thinly sliced (I use low fat)
your favorite salsa
1 package flour tortilla (10-in. The recipe usually uses 5 tortillas the way I make it)
chopped tomato
shredded lettuce
sliced black olives
sliced scallion
sliced jalapeno
sour cream
guacamole

Steps:

  • Place beans in microwave safe dish.
  • Stir in next 5 ingredients.
  • Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
  • Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
  • If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
  • Mix in rice, if using.
  • Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
  • Use the method you like best.
  • I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
  • Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
  • You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
  • I like to skip this step.
  • That's it!
  • These refrigerate well for a few days.
  • I can't speak for the freezer.
  • I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
  • Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
  • No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.

PORK, BEAN & RICE BURRITOS



Pork, Bean & Rice Burritos image

The combination of spices is key to this slow-cooked pork-it's my family's favorite burrito filling. The aroma that fills the air as the pork slowly simmers is like a Mexican restaurant. A perfect recipe for tailgate parties. -Valonda Seward, Coarsegold, California
