Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
1 ½ cups refried beans (or 1 ½ cups drained and rinsed black beans)
¾ cup corn kernels
3 cups cooked rice ((I like to use Uncle Ben's microwaveable Ready Rice for a quick option))
6 large (10-inch) flour tortillas ((I like to use Mission brand "burrito size" tortillas))
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional garnish: finely diced red onion; lettuce; diced tomato or salsa; sour cream; fresh cilantro; avocado or guacamole

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cook beef with taco seasoning mix, according to seasoning package instructions.
  • To prepare 1 burrito: spread ¼ cup beans down center of tortillas; top with ½ cup rice, beef, 2 tablespoons corn, and ¼ cup cheese.
  • Fold in opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll up, burrito style. Place, seam-sides down, in prepared dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients to prepare 6 total burritos.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes (until heated through). If you are baking the burritos from the refrigerator while they're still cold, it will take about 30-35 minutes for them to heat through.

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.
