Bean & Meat Burritos

This is what I’m serving my family tonight.  Mmmmm, I can’t wait to chow down!

HERE’S ALL I NEED TO DO

• 3-4 cups cooked ground beef
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 can green chilies, optional
• 1 package of 10-12 flour tortillas (fajitas/soft taco size)
• 1 large can ranch style beans
• 3/4- 1 cup water
• 2 cups grated cheddar/jack cheese

Preheat oven to 350^oF.

Reheat cooked meat, chili powder, cumin and water in medium pan over medium heat.  Remove from heat and add green chilies.

Drain ranch beans and RESERVE red sauce. Mash beans until you get a refried bean texture, you can add a little water to loosen beans. Fill one tortilla with meat, beans, & cheese. Fold and lay in greased casserole dish.

After dish is full, mix remaining beans to reserved red sauce, plus 1/2 cup water then pour over burritos. Add any leftover meat mixture and cheese for topping.

Cover with foil and bake at 350^oF for 30-40 minutes. Can be prepared earlier that day and left in refrigerator until ready to cook.

Serve with salsa, sour cream, and tortilla chips.

Kid Friendly Tip
Leave out the green chilies in the meat mixture, or leave out the meat mixture all together. Fill half the casserole dish with bean and cheese filled burritos. Be sure to mark the bean filled side of the dish by toping it only with cheese, do not top with meat mixture.
