Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 1/4 cups diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) chili beans
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- 10 spinach tortillas
- 1-2 large flour tortillas
- Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salsa, for serving
- Sour cream, for serving
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the Filling: In a non-stick skillet, combine the ground beef, diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and jalapeno peppers. Cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. Stir frequently and drain well.
-
Add Beans and Seasonings: To the skillet, add the chili beans, salt, pepper, and ground cumin (if desired). Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Assemble the Burritos: Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling onto the center of each spinach tortilla. Sprinkle generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up the tortillas burrito-style, ensuring the filling is enclosed, and fold the ends under to secure.
-
Bake the Burritos: Place the assembled burritos seam side down in a greased 13×9 inch baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the burritos are thoroughly heated and the cheese is melted.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the foil from the baking dish. Serve the Tex-Mex burritos hot, accompanied by salsa and sour cream on the side.
