Super Simple Beef and Bean Burrito Recipe

This Super Simple Beef and Bean Burrito Recipe is just like the title says. With only a few ingredients, the ground beef mixed with the onions gives it a whole different flavor. Pair it with refried beans and topped with shredded cheese, it’s a whole different level.

Tips to speed up the process

• The onions can be diced at the beginning of the week and placed in an airtight container, and will be ready for use.
• The ground beef and onions can also be cooked at the beginning of the week and placed in an airtight container. When it’s time to use, you will only need to add the taco seasoning and water cook for 10 minutes.

How to pair the burritos

• You can pair it with a side of red rice, or what many people call Mexican rice.
• It can be topped with guacamole, sour cream, or salsa fresca, or what many people call pico de gallo.
• If you want to spice it up, add some salsa de chile japones(red pepper salsa). This salsa is very spicy.

Let’s start making Super Simple Beef and Bean Burrito Recipe

Ingredients

Oil- You can use any neutral oil, canola, vegetable, coconut, or avocado oil.

Onion

Ground beef- For most of my ground beef recipes, I use 93/7% fat. But you can use a higher percentage of fat. If you choose to use a higher percentage of fat once it’s cooked, just make sure you remove the excess fat after step one.

Taco seasoning

Refried beans

Shredded cheddar cheese- You can use any type of cheese of your choice, such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or montery jack.

Tortillas

Instructions

1. In a medium pan over medium to high heat, add oil, and once the oil is hot, add onions and ground beef, beginning to break apart with a meat chopper; cook for 8-10 minutes until the ground beef is browned.
2. Once the ground beef is fully cooked, add the taco seasoning packet and water; mix well. Bring to a boil, then down to a simmer for 10 minutes.
3. In another pan or pot over medium to high heat, place refried beans and heat them through.
4. In a medium skillet over medium to high heat, begin heating the tortillas for 15-20 seconds on each side; you want them to be pliable.
5. Let’s begin to assemble the burritos; on a tortilla, place a spoonful or two of refried beans, then a spoonful of or two of ground beef, then sprinkle shredded cheese; begin to roll it into a burrito.
