Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 can refried beans
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces flour tortillas (large)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Add the refried beans to the skillet and mix well with the beef mixture. Remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Add about 1/3 cup of the beef and bean mixture to the center of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Place the burrito seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Lightly brush the tops of the burritos with melted butter to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the burritos are golden brown and heated through.
Let the burritos cool for a few minutes before serving. Wrap leftovers in foil or parchment paper for easy reheating or freezing.
