Beef and Bean Burritos


After gobbling down more sugar than one should consume in a year in the last 3 weeks, I'm posting a recipe that has absolutely Nothing to do with sugar. Those posts are for a different time, when I feel back to my normal, less-sugar-filled self. That being said.....
I made these a few weeks back after coming across the recipe on Pioneer Woman. They looked too good to pass up and really easy. They use El Pato, so you know they're gonna be awesome. They were very simple to make and even tastier than I expected. I will definitely be making these again!

BEEF & BEAN BURRITOS

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef
  • ½ whole Medium Onion
  • 1 can (7 Ounce) Mexican Tomato Sauce Or Enchilada Sauce ( save a little for drizzling on top)
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Cumin, Oregano, Chili Powder, Garlic To Taste
  • 1 can (28 Ounce) Refried Beans
  • ¾ cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • 12 whole Burrito-sized Flour Tortillas ( I used whole wheat)
  • Extra Grated Cheese, For Sprinkling
  • Extra Sauce, For Drizzling
  • Cilantro Leaves, Optional
  • Optional Filling Ingredients: Mexican Rice, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Green Chilies, Pico De Gallo

Brown ground beef with onion and season to taste. Pour in sauce and simmer over low heat. Add water if mixture gets too dry.

Heat refried beans in a saucepan. Add cheese and stir in till melted. Keep warm.

Heat tortillas in microwave for one minute.

Spread a small amount of beans on each tortilla. Add meat. Fold over ends, then roll up. Place two burritos on a microwave-safe plate. Drizzle red sauce over the top and sprinkle with more grated cheddar. Microwave for one minute, or until cheese is melted and burritos are very hot. Serve immediately.
