How to Make Beef Bean Burritos
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp white pepper, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tsp chipotle powder (optional).
- Add 1 packet taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans and 1 (15-ounce) can chili beans (undrained). Mix thoroughly.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- While the beef simmers, soften 8 large flour tortillas using your preferred method (steaming, hot oil, or warm water).
- Lightly grease 8 large ramekins or muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Gently press softened tortillas into the ramekins, forming cups.
- If using water to soften tortillas, lightly brush with oil.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake tortilla cups for 7-10 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and fill each tortilla cup with the hot beef and bean mixture.
- Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
- Return to oven for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for 3 minutes before removing from ramekins.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with pico de gallo, a lettuce and tomato salad, Spanish rice, or your favorite salsa (optional).
- Makes 8 hearty servings. Enjoy this moderately spicy Southwestern delight!
