BURRITO GRANDE, OVEN BAKED
Shortly after my husband and I were married, we dined at a restaurant in Punta Gorda, Florida. They had an item on the menu called "Burrito Grande" and we fell in love with the meal which was served with, what else, beans and rice. I went home and experimented for some time until I came up with this recipe. It is a favorite in our household to this day. I have also made this recipe using 2 pounds of cooked, shredded beef (such as chuck roast). It is best to let these cool for about 15 minutes after removing from the oven then you can use your spatula to separate the cheese and remove the burritos without tearing them up.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add olive oil to skillet over medium heat and heat until hot. Add the chopped onions to the pan and saute approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ground cumin and cook for another minute. Add the ground beef and cook until browned about 10 minutes.
- Add the chili powder and salt, (and red pepper flakes, if desired) stirring. Then add the beef broth and tomato paste and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered approximately 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated.
- After beef is cooked, pour 1 can of the tomato soup into a 2 cup measuring cup and add about 1/3 can of water; stir well. Pour the soup mixture evenly into a baking dish measuring approximately 9" x 13". Then repeat the procedure with the 2nd can of soup and set aside.
- Take a tortilla and lay on your working surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans across the lower third of the tortilla. Pile 1/8 of beef mixture on top of the beans. Top the beef mixture with 2 - 3 spoonsful of salsa then add about 2 spoonsful of sour cream. Finish with 1/8 of the cheddar cheese, then roll bottom of tortilla up and over the filling, fold in the sides then fold over again, tucking any excess on the top in and under the roll.
- Lay prepared burrito in pan lengthwise (you will have 2 rows across of 4 down). Repeat with remaining 7 burritos then top with reserved soup mixture, covering evenly. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend evenly over the burritos.
- Bake in oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until edges are bubbling but before cheese begins to excessively brown.

BURRITO GRANDE
My husband and I were married in Port Charlotte, Florida in 1984. Punta Gorda is just across the bay and we frequented a restaurant named the Hacienda. It is, unfortunately no longer there after the hurricane came through that area, but I created this rendition by trial and error 25+ years ago. This version uses ground meat, but...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add oil to skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the chopped onions to the pan and saute until soft, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ground cumin and cook for another minute or until fragrant.
- 2. Crumble in the ground beef and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the chili powder and salt, (and red pepper flakes, if desired) stirring. Then stir in the beef broth and tomato paste and bring to a slow boil. Cook, uncovered approximately 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated.
- 3. While the beef mixture is reducing, pour 1 can of the tomato soup into a 2 cup measuring cup and add about 1/3 can of water; stir well. Pour the soup mixture into a large baking dish (the one pictured measures approximately 10" x 14") and distribute evenly. Then repeat the mixing procedure with the 2nd can of soup and set aside to be poured on top of the burritos.
- 4. Take a tortilla and lay on your working surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans across the lower third of the tortilla. Pile 1/8 of beef mixture on top of the beans. Top the beef mixture with 2 - 3 spoons full of salsa then distribute about 2 spoons full of sour cream across the filling. Finish with 1/8 of the cheddar cheese, then roll bottom of tortilla up and over the filling, fold in the sides then fold over again, tucking any excess on the top in and under the roll.
- 5. Lay prepared burrito in pan lengthwise (top left corner; you will have 2 rows across of 4 down). Repeat with remaining 7 burritos then top with reserved soup mixture, covering evenly. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend evenly over the burritos.
- 6. Bake in oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until edges are bubbling but before cheese begins to excessively brown.
- 7. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving with a large, wide spatula. We complete our meal with additional refried beans topped with more CHEESE, homemade Spanish rice and shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and additional sour cream on the side!
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Chop, dice, and measure all of your ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the assembly process much faster.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your burrito will taste. Look for fresh, ripe produce and high-quality meat and cheese.
- Cook your meat thoroughly: If you are using raw meat, make sure to cook it thoroughly before adding it to your burrito. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
- Warm your tortillas: Warm tortillas are more pliable and less likely to crack or tear. You can warm them in a skillet over medium heat, on a griddle, or in the microwave.
- Don't overload your burrito: A burrito that is too full is difficult to eat and will likely fall apart. Aim for a burrito that is about 2/3 full.
- Roll your burrito tightly: To prevent your burrito from falling apart, roll it tightly, starting from the bottom and working your way up.
