Ingredients

  • lb lean ground beef
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
  • 1 (64 ounce) can pinto beans
  • salt
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 32 ounces green enchilada sauce (use red if you prefer)
  • 2-3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • OPTIONS

    Directions

    1. 1
      Brown the beef and drain.
    2. 2
      Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water and cook until all liquid is gone.
    3. 3
      Meanwhile, drain about half of the liquid off of the pinto beans and then heat in a pan.
    4. 4
      When beans start to simmer, lightly mash until you get the desired consistency (I like some whole beans left). Season to taste with salt, about 1 teaspoon.
    5. 5
      Lightly heat one tortilla over burner until pliable.
    6. 6
      Spread some beans down the center or tortilla and top with some seasoned meat. Sprinkle on some onions and any other options you'd like. (Save some for on top!).
    7. 7
      Tuck in sides of tortilla and then roll up. Place seamside down on a microwave safe plate.
    8. 8
      Spoon some enchilada sauce over burrito and top with lots of grated cheese.
    9. 9
      Lightly cover with micro-safe paper and cook on HIGH for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is nice and melted.
    10. 10
      Repeat for remaining burritos.
    11. 11
      Serve with sour cream or scattered tomatoes or anything you'd like!

    I'm giving this a solid 5 stars because you get big flavor with very little time or effort. I made this even quicker by making the burritos earlier in the day, so all I had to do was top it with; enchilada sauce, cheese and pop them in the microwave. I topped mine with: extra onions, chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, lettuce and a dollop of sour cream. Yummy recipe! Thanks, Charmie, for a great recipe to add to my 'quick cooking' files.
