Ingredients
- 8 tortilla burrito size
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 20 ounces Red Enchilada Sauce (I prefer Gebhardt brand)
- 16 ounces refried beans canned
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- salt coarse, to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium-high heat. Begin breaking it apart, browning it. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the ground beef is cooking, add the refried beans to a separate saucepan over medium heat.
- Add ¼ cup of the shredded cheese to the refried beans and mix to combine. Once hot, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Once the ground beef has cooked through, add 10 ounces (1 can) of the enchilada sauce. Stir to combine and remove from the heat.
- Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about ¼ cup of the refried beans down the center of the tortilla.
- Top the beans mix with ¼ cup of the ground beef mix.
- Roll up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you roll. Once it has been rolled and sealed, top it with 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce.
- Sprinkle the top of the burrito with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Heat the burrito just enough to melt the cheese. You can do this by either placing it in the microwave for about 20 seconds or place them in a baking dish in the oven at 350ºF for about 5 minutes.
- Continue with the remaining burritos and enjoy!
