Step-by-Step Instructions
- Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add 1 pound of ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Add ½ finely diced yellow onion and sauté until translucent, about 2–3 minutes.
- Create the Chili Mixture: Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, then add 1 cup of water, ⅓ cup of tomato sauce, and 1 packet of taco seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Incorporate Beans and Cheese: Add 1 can (16 oz) of refried beans and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay 8 tortillas flat. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the filling onto each tortilla, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Toast for Extra Crunch (Optional): In the same skillet, heat over medium and coat with cooking spray. Place rolled burritos seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm with sides like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
