Beef + Bean Burritos

Beef + Bean Burritos

Beef + Bean Burritos

Last night, I made Beef + Bean Burritos for dinner and they were packed with flavor. Allen recently bought Guy Fieri Chipotle Salsa and I wanted to use it for this dish and am glad I did. Guy Fieri Chipotle Salsa had a serious kick but was balanced in its spice level and complimented the overall taste of the Burritos. The Green Chiles and the Beef with Chipotle Taco Seasoning really added a robust flavor to the Burritos. The entire meal took about 30 minutes to cook. I set up the Burrito filling contents in bowls to keep things organized. I cook for 2 and this recipe is for 4 servings, so we ended up with leftovers for lunch today. Adjust amount according to your family size.

Ingredients

1 16 oz can Refried Beans (I used Old El Paso Traditional Refried Beans).

1 10 oz package Vigo Saffron Yellow Rice.

Mise en place
Set up in a line on your counter space small bowls with the following: Lettuce, Tomatoes, Chiles, Salsa and Cheese. Add Sour Cream and Cilantro if you wish.

In a large pot, bring 2 1/2 cups Water to boil.

When boiling, add 2 tablespoons Olive Oil and contents of Rice.

Stir for 1 minute, reduce to low, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes.

In a skillet on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil.

When hot, add Ground Beef and Onions.

Season meat with Kosher Salt and Black Pepper.

Brown Beef, drain and return to skillet.

Add Taco Seasoning Mix and 3/4 cup Water.

Heat until thickened, stirring often.

In a small pot, heat Refried Beans on low until hot.

Take up to 4 Flour Tortillas and wrap in a moist paper towel.
