Brown Bag Burritos image

Instead of sandwiches in your brown bag -- why not try these burritos. Found in an old Taste of Home Magazine. Make ahead, freeze and pull one out when you need a quick lunch or snack.

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.

These burritos were a disappointment. The filling was bland and the tortillas were tough.

The burritos were good, but they were a bit too dry. I think I'll add some more salsa next time.

I've made these burritos several times and they're always a hit. They're a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

These burritos are perfect for meal prep. I made a big batch on Sunday and they lasted me all week.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken for black beans. The burritos were still delicious!

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning to the filling and it was much better.

The burritos were delicious, but they were a bit too spicy for my kids.

These burritos were a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. They were also a great grab-and-go breakfast or lunch.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I was able to customize it to my family's tastes by adding different fillings and toppings.
