Ingredients
BURRITOS:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground lean beef
- 12 ounces ground sausage
- 21 ounces passata tomato puree, or marinara sauce, divided
- 4 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- 1 pinch dried oregano
- 1 pinch dried basil
- 6-8 tortilla wraps large, white or while wheat
- 7 ounces mozzarella cheese thinly sliced
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
WHITE SAUCE: (OPTIONAL)
- 2 tablespoons butter chopped
- 2 tablespoons all purpose or plain flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to broil or grill settings on medium heat. Lightly spray a baking sheet / tray with cooking oil spray; set aside.
Cup of Yum
MEAT SAUCE:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent and fragrant over low-medium heat.
- Add in the ground beef and sausage; fry until browned, while breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in ¾ of the tomato puree. Add the tomato paste, bouillon powder, salt and pepper (to taste), and dried herbs. Bring to a simmer until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly (the sauce will be thicker than normal lasagne sauce to avoid wetting and ripping the tortillas).
- While cooling, prepare white sauce (optional)
Cup of Yum
WHITE SAUCE:
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour; cook, quickly stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually add milk, starting with ¼ cup, whisking constantly, until mixture is smooth. Return to a low heat and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, for about 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens and comes to a boil. (It should coat the back of a wooden spoon.) Remove from heat.
ASSEMBLE:
- Heat tortillas in microwave for one minute until soft. Place two slices of mozzarella onto the tortilla; spread about ¼ cup of meat on each tortilla, and top with 2 more slices of mozzarella. Fold over tortilla ends, and roll up. Pour remaining tomato puree/sauce over the top (about 2 tablespoons each burrito), spoon white sauce over the tomato sauce, and top with the shredded mozzarella. Place burritos on prepared baking sheet / tray; bake burritos until cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden. Serve immediately.
