"For a change from sandwiches, we like burritos-something many people don't consider in a brown-bag lunch," says Rhonda Cliett of Barton, Texas. "They're good cold or easy to heat if a microwave's available."

Time 40m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean ground beef
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2/3 cup enchilada sauce
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons minced onions
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
15 -20 flour tortillas (7 inch)
1 1/2-2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef; drain.
  • Add the next 8 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Heat 3-4 tortillas in a microwave until warm, about 45 seconds. Spoon 3-4 tablespooms of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  • Top with 2-3 tablespooms of cheese.
  • Roll up. Wrap each burrito in paper towel; then in foil. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate if using right away. Or freeze.
  • Burritos can be eaten cold. If warming, remove the foil and place in microwave for about a minute. However, if frozen, they will take longer. I suggest warming for 45 seconds to a minute on 50% power to thaw some, and then completing the warming process at a higher power.

Tips:

  • Make meal prep easier by using rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked beans.
  • Prepare your burritos ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use a variety of fillings and toppings to create different flavor combinations.
  • Pack your burritos with plenty of vegetables to ensure a balanced meal.
  • Choose whole-wheat tortillas or wraps for a healthier option.
  • If you're packing your burritos for lunch, be sure to include a cold pack to keep them fresh.

Conclusion:

Brown bag burritos are a delicious, portable, and customizable meal that is perfect for busy individuals and families. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a variety of burritos that will keep you satisfied all week long.
