Ingredients
- 2 cups Tex-Mex Chili Gravy
- 1 tbsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano (See Note 1)
- 1 tsp chili powder (See note 2)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 lbs ground beef 90/10 (See Note 3)
- 2 cups refried beans (See Note 4)
- 2 cups Colby-Jack cheese shredded (divided)
- 6 large flour tortillas
Toppings
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo optional
- 1 cup guacamole optional
- 1 cup sour cream optional
- Pickled Mexican Carrots side dish
Instructions
- Make the Tex Mex Chili Gravy.
- In a small bowl whisk together the spices and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add onion, cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute.
- Add ground beef, spices and cook for 2 minutes, breaking up meat as it browns. Add refried beans, 1 cup cheese and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes. Season to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Pour some of the Tex-Mex Chili Gravy to cover bottom of 13×9″ baking dish.
- Spread 2/3 cup of ground beef filling horizontally across the center of a tortilla, keeping the filling close to each edge. Next, bring the bottom half of the tortilla up and over the top of the filling. Then fold in each side and roll the burrito up into a nice package. TIP: Don't roll the burrito up too tightly or the tortilla could tear.
- Place the rolled burrito seam side down on top of the sauce in the casserole dish. Repeat until 6 burritos are in the pan. Cover with aluminum foil to bake 15 minutes (or make 2 at a time in a skillet as pictured, optional).
- Remove from oven and top with the remaining Tex Mex Chili Gravy and shredded Colby-Jack cheese and bake another 5 minutes, uncovered.
- Serve with any or all optional toppings sprinkled on top and Pickled Mexican Carrots.
- NOTE: size and number of burritos vary depending on how much filling you choose to use.
