Camp Burritos are the first meal I serve all my new friends, with and without kids. It's a winner with everyone no matter what their food preferences happen to be. The dish looks like the cook slaved away preparing the meal, but it takes hardly any time to roll together these bad boys and pop them in the oven.
Every body loves this hardy Tex-Mex dish! It's so filling, I don't bother serving anything else with it but tortilla chips. It makes a great leftover meal and can be made ahead of time.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 can chopped green chilies
- 1 package of 10-12 flour tortillas (fajitas/soft taco size)
- 1 (28 oz.) can ranch style beans - semi-mashed
- 2 cups grated cheddar/jack cheese
- 1 can MILD red enchilada sauce (Old El Paso)
Preheat oven to 350oF.
Brown meat and drain off any grease. Mix taco seasoning and water to beef and cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat and add green chilies. Mash beans until you get a refried bean texture. Fill one tortilla with meat, beans, & cheese. Fold and lay in greased casserole dish. After dish is full, pour red enchilada sauce over burritos. Add any leftover meat mixture and cheese for topping. Cover with foil.
Bake at 350oF for 30-40 minutes. Can be prepared earlier that day and left in refrigerator until ready to cook. Serve with your favorite salsa, sour cream, and tortilla chips.
Sounds good. I love this type of food. I will give this a try next week and let you know how it went!!

This is a awesome recipe. I have teenagers, planned on making this for them….but my husband and I loved it also. YUMMY!!!!! and easy. I used green enchilada sauce, I am not to fond of the red sauce.
Thanks Gwen!
I agree with you about the red sauce. In the past, I used half the amount of red sauce. Nowadays, I just use a larger can (26 oz?) of Ranch Style Beans, and skip the red sauce altogether.
I didn’t think to use verde sauce. Hmmm…
We are just heading into the high mountains for our first camping get away. Can hardly wait to try this burrito recipe:-)
I can’t wait to hear how you managed to cook them in the great outdoors.
Which recipe would you say tastes better? This version of the camp burritos or your other version the Beef and bean burrito casserole? They look so good, I would like to plan this in my families menu next month.
Hi Christine!
That’s a great question. My family has grown to love the Beef and Bean Burrito Casserole. The enchilada sauce in this recipe is a little too spicy for my kids.
Have you seen the video of me making a super quick version of this with beans only? It’s my go-to version when I have a house full of hungry kids. It’s a winner everytime.
