Beef and Bean Burritos

This is a super easy and super simple recipe you can make in a cinch. What could make this even easier is using already browned hamburger or turkey meat that you keep in your freezer. I always try to have some ready to go in my freezer to make mealtime a little easier. Everyone liked this and ate it. My boys may have just eaten the inside of the burrito, but that counts as liking it in my book. I also didn't drizzle any sauce on top of theirs, since they like to eat with their hands most of the time, I'm hoping to teach them to eat with a fork by the time they are 16. Enjoy this easy weeknight meal!

½  Medium Onion, chopped

1 can (7 Ounce) Mexican Tomato Sauce Or Enchilada Sauce

Salt And Pepper, to taste

Cumin, Oregano, Chili Powder, Garlic To Taste

Extra Grated Cheese, For Sprinkling

Extra Sauce, For Drizzling

Cilantro Leaves, Optional

Optional Filling Ingredients: Mexican Rice, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Green Chilies, Pico De Gallo

Heat refried beans in a saucepan. Add cheese and stir in till melted. Keep warm.

Heat tortillas in microwave for one minute.

Spread a small amount of beans on each tortilla. Add meat.

Place burritos in oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and burritos are very hot. Serve immediately.
