1 medium onion, diced
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano

12 burrito-size flour tortillas
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

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.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb ground beef
3/4 c chopped onion
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp accent
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
10 tortillas, flour
1 can(s) refried beans
mild cheddar cheese
salsa, chunky

Steps:

  • 1. Cook ground beef according directions. Add onions and seasonings and mix well.
  • 2. Heat tortillas, this is very important because it help make rolling the burritos easier. Take about 2-3 tablespoons for refried beans and spread on tortilla shell off centered.
  • 3. Add 1/3 cup of meat mixture and top with a large pinch of cheese. Don't over stuff your burrito otherwise they will rip. To roll burritos (and look presentable), take the side and fold slightly inward. Next take the bottom and fold over your filling then continue to roll the rest. Make sure as you roll, keep the parts that want to flair out to the sides tucked in.
  • 4. Fill frying pan with about 2 inches of oil for frying, and fry burrito for 11/2-2 minutes each side.
  • 5. Top with cheese and salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Beef: Opt for a flavorful cut of beef, such as chuck roast or flank steak.
  • Season Generously: Use a combination of spices, herbs, and aromatics to infuse the beef with flavor.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Allow the beef to cook slowly over low heat to ensure tenderness.
  • Shred the Beef: Once cooked, shred the beef against the grain for a tender and juicy texture.
  • Use Fresh Beans: Fresh beans offer a vibrant flavor and texture compared to canned beans.
  • Choose Your Cheese: Select a melting cheese that complements the other ingredients, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
  • Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas before assembling the burritos to make them pliable and prevent cracking.
  • Layer Wisely: Layer the ingredients evenly across the tortilla to ensure each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Fold Tightly: Fold the burritos tightly to prevent the fillings from spilling out during cooking.
  • Cook Until Golden: Cook the burritos until they are golden brown and crispy, ensuring a delicious and appealing presentation.
