- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomato sauce, diced green chilies, chili powder, ground cumin, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet until pliable.
Spoon a generous portion of the beef and chili mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Top the filling with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Optional: Place the rolled burritos seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to lightly toast them.
Serve warm and enjoy!
