Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
2/3 cup water
1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix
1 cup Old El Paso™ traditional refried beans (from 16-oz can)
1 cup hot cooked rice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
8 Old El Paso™ flour tortillas for burritos (8 inch; from 11-oz package)
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese (4 oz)

Steps:

  • In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in water and taco seasoning mix; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
  • Heat beans as directed on can. In small bowl, add hot rice, lime juice and cilantro. Stir to combine.
  • Heat tortillas as directed on package. Spread 2 tablespoons of the beans in middle of each tortilla, leaving 1-inch border around edges. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over beans. Spoon 1/4 cup beef mixture and 2 tablespoons rice mixture evenly down center of each. Fold bottom of each tortilla 1 inch over filling. Fold sides in, overlapping to enclose filling. Fold top over sides.
  • To freeze: Wrap each burrito in foil. Label 1-gallon resealable freezer plastic bag. Transfer burritos in single layer to bag; remove as much air as possible, and freeze up to 1 month. To heat: Remove 1 burrito from foil, and wrap in lightly dampened paper towel. Place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High 3 minutes to 4 minutes 30 seconds, turning once, until heated through (at least 165°F).

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burritos turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't have much flavor.

These burritos were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
