Quick Easy burrito recipe! 

Hey mommas! I know you’re tired and you are just looking for a quick dinner idea for tonight so here it is. This is my family recipe and it has a bit of history behind it! My mom immigrated from South America and when she got here everyone thought because she spoke Spanish she should be able to make burritos🤦🏾‍♀️

Nope! She had never even seen a tortilla in her life! However, instead of screaming, she figured out how to turn this misunderstanding about her culture into a positive!

Mom hated to cook but she was the most amazing cook ever! She really did a great job at it and even though she didn’t like thinking of new things every night she came up with some incredible dishes. Since she passed in 2008 and I have tried to remember most of her recipes and re-create her deliciousness for many to enjoy!

For this recipe here is your grocery list:

1 pound of ground beef

1 onion

1 pack of burrito flour tortillas

1 large container of sour cream

1 can of tomato sauce

1 can of refried beans

1 package of shredded Colby jack cheese (or your choice)

1 small can of black olives (optional)

( Spices include salt, garlic powder, and chili powder)

1. First, we are going to cut the onion in half and dice it into small pieces.
2. Second, go ahead and sweat the onion. Put them in a pan with a little oil (your choice) I like to use coconut oil. Cook them until they look a little clear and browned a bit.
3. Brown the ground beef into the pan with the onions and add salt and garlic powder. This is going to be a personal preference on how much you want, so taste as you go.
4. When the ground beef is cooked all the way add the can of tomato sauce and refried beans.
5. Make sure to mix it up really well. Add the chili powder. We aren’t spicy people so we don’t do too much again it’s your preference. Make sure you allow the mixture to cook for about 5/7 minutes or until bubbling. Mix so it doesn’t burn at the bottom.
6. Once the mixture is done it’s time to assemble.
7. Grab a tortilla put it in your hand and make a U with your hand and then put a scoop of filling, then one scoop of sour cream, and sprinkle some cheese on top of that. Then roll it up in a burrito. Continue doing all of these steps until all of the tortillas are filled. Place all of them in a glass Pyrex (Here are some of my favorites) in a row.
8. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes. Allow them to bubble and brown the tops.
