Nana’s Beef and Bean Burritos

Prepare the Ground Beef:

In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.

Add the taco seasoning:

Mix the ground beef with 1 tbsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp oregano, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1.5 tsp cumin, and 1/2 cup water.

Stir and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the beef is well-coated with seasoning.

Sauté the Vegetables:

In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until soft.

Stir in the diced jalapeños, 2 tbsp enchilada sauce, the seasoned ground beef, and 1 tbsp fresh cilantro. Simmer the mixture until heated through.

Assemble the Burritos:

Heat the refried beans in a saucepan until warm.

Spread a layer of refried beans onto each tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

Add a portion of the beef mixture on top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

Wrap each tortilla tightly, tucking the ends in, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

Bake the Burritos:

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the burritos and sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
