Instructions:
-
Brown Ground Beef: Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure to break it apart with a spoon as it cooks to achieve a fine texture. 🍔🍳
-
Drain Excess Fat: Once the ground beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet. This step helps reduce the overall fat content of the dish. 💧
-
Add Refried Beans: Next, add the can of refried beans to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. The beans will add flavor and creaminess to the filling. 🥫
-
Seasoning: Sprinkle the packet of burrito seasoning over the beef and bean mixture. The seasoning adds depth and complexity to the flavors, giving your burritos that authentic Tex-Mex taste. 🌶️
-
Mix and Heat: Stir the mixture well to evenly distribute the seasoning and heat it through. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. 🔥
-
Prepare Tortillas: While the filling is simmering, warm up your flour tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a warm oven. Soft and pliable tortillas make for easier rolling. 🌯
-
Assemble Burritos: Once everything is heated through and ready to go, it’s time to assemble your burritos. Spoon a generous portion of the beef and bean filling onto each tortilla, then add your favorite condiments. 🥑🧀
-
Add Condiments: Get creative with your toppings! We recommend shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa for a burst of flavor and texture. Customize your burritos to suit your taste preferences. 🧀🥑
-
Roll and Serve: Roll up the tortillas, tucking in the ends to encase the filling securely. Serve your Easy Burritos warm and enjoy the deliciousness! 🎉
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair these Easy Burritos with a side of Mexican rice and beans for a complete meal.
