Recipe Wednesday: Cheesy Baked Burritos

Here's another one of my yummy go-to recipes. When in doubt, I can always roll something into a tortilla and it's somehow tastes good :) This is just a BASIC recipe and you can add whatever ingredients you like!

Note...The Mexican tomato can be spicy, so if you don't like spice just use enchilada sauce.


Cheesy Baked Burritos
1 lb ground beef (turkey, chicken, whatever ground meat you like!)
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 small (7 oz) can of Mexican tomato sauce (on the Mexican aisle, I like the El Pato brand)
4-6 large "burrito size" tortillas
1 large can of enchilada sauce (green, red, whatever you like!)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, plus more to sprinkle on top
1 can refried beans
1 packet low sodium taco seasoning
Scallions for topping

1. Brown meat in a large skillet; add onions, Mexican tomato sauce and taco seasoning-- simmer until onions are tender,

2. In the meantime, heat beans in a small saucepan with a splash of water. When beans are warm, stir in cheddar cheese; set aside.

3. Assemble burritos: add a good amount of bean/cheese mixture and meat to each tortilla; roll and repeat for 4-6 burritos.

4. Place burritos in a baking dish. Brush each burrito with a little olive oil, then top them with as much enchilada sauce as you like!

5. Top with a little more cheese and bake at 400 for about 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.

6. Top with scallions and enjoy!!!

** Extra meat filling is great in tacos or for lunch the next day with some tortilla chips!
