Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef Serves as a hearty base for the filling.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Choose your favorite type; cheddar works wonderfully!
  • 4 large flour tortillas Fresh tortillas add flexibility and flavor.
  • 1 can refried beans Adds creaminess to the burrito filling.
  • 1/2 cup salsa Choose mild or spicy based on your preference.
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning For an extra kick of flavor.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Helps brown the beef perfectly.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients in one place.
  • Chop any additional veggies you’d like to include, such as onions or bell peppers.

Cooking the Filling

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Preparing the Tortillas

  • Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla.

Assembling the Burritos

  • Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top, then fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up.

Baking

  • Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serving

  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
  • Serve hot with favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or extra salsa.

Notes

These burritos are great for leftovers and can be customized with various ingredients. Avoid overfilling the burritos to prevent them from bursting.
