Burrito with Shredded Beef Recipe

This is one of those recipes that comes to mind when your family is sitting at the table and shouting, banging the table with a fork. If you find chunks of beef and beans in your fridge, simply wrap them in a tortilla. And after 20 minutes, to applause, you can serve something small, hot, and tasty.

Summary

Ingredients

• 900 gr. chopped cooked beef
• 3 cans (200 g each) tomato sauce for enchiladas
• 1 can refried beans
• 1 medium onion
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon chili seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 tablespoon. grated cheddar, plus 12 tortillas for sprinkling
• 0.5 tablespoon. chopped cilantro

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over high heat, sauté the onion until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked beef, cumin, chili seasoning, oregano, and salt; stir to combine.
2. Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, adding water as needed if the sauce becomes too thick. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the refried beans over medium heat, add the cheddar, and stir until the cheese melts. Remove from heat.
3. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute. Spread the beans over each tortilla, then add the beef and sauce. Fold each tortilla into an envelope shape and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the foil, pour any remaining tomato sauce over the burritos, sprinkle with cheddar, and bake uncovered for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
