Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Refried beans
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
- 0.5 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, place the burger patties into the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done beef.
Remove the cooked burger patties from the pan and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
While the burgers are resting, warm the flour tortillas in a clean dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 15-20 seconds on each side until pliable.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each tortilla.
Place a cooked burger patty in the center of each tortilla and top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and pickled jalapeños (if using).
Carefully fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the burger, then fold in the sides, and finally roll it up tightly like a burrito.
Serve the Burrito Burgers immediately with additional guacamole, sour cream, or salsa on the side if desired.
