beef bean and cheese burritos
With back to school season here, I love to pre-make dinner or make easy after school snacks that are simple and delicious. I love to make a big batch of these beef bean and cheese burritos and have them in the fridge ready for a quick snack when the kids get home from school. If we serve them for dinner, it's always nice to have a few toppings to serve with them. Sometimes its the simple recipes that are always my go to.

Homemade Burritos:

Mexican food is always a good idea. The best browned ground beef for tacos and burritos doesn't have to be complicated. We've found the secret to the best beef for tacos and burritos and this is all you need:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small diced onion (either white or yellow onion)
  • 1+ tablespoon of cumin (we like lots of cumin)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Seriously…that is it! Give it a try and let us know what you think? If you love to stick with traditional taco seasonings, that is easy too. Did you know you can mix up your own homemade taco seasoning at home? It's so simple and nice to have on hand for a variety of different recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow or white onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 16oz. block Velvet Cheese
  • 1 10oz. can mild RoTel
  • 1 16oz. can refried beans
  • 6 burrito size flour tortillas

How to make Beef Been and Cheese Burritos:

  • FOR THE INSIDE FILLING:
    In a large skillet add a little olive oil and cook the diced onions until translucent. Add in the ground beef and brown the ground beef until it is cooked through. Sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the can of refried beans into the ground beef mixture and mix it all together. In a separate pan set to medium high heat add the chunks of Velveeta. Add in the undrained can of Mild RoTel and stir the two together as the Velveeta melts to combine. Turn off the heat when the Velveeta is melted.
  • FOR THE TORTILLAS:
    Cook or just warm up each flour tortilla according to the package directions. Keep warm in a towel or tortilla warmer until ready to use. Tip: warm tortillas roll into a burrito easier than cold/room temp tortillas.
  • WRAP IT UP BURRITO STYLE:
    To make each burrito, add 1 -2 tablespoons of the queso cheese and 1/3 cup of the meat and bean mixture to the center of a tortilla. Fold in the edges of the tortilla toward the center, then roll up, tucking in all of the filling…burrito style!

TOPPINGS TO SERVE WITH BURRITOS:

  • shredded lettuce
  • chopped tomatoes
  • guacamole
  • sour cream
  • pico de gallo
  • salsa (try our easy blender salsa recipe!)
  • mild sauce

FREEZE & REHEAT

Just like our breakfast burritos, these burritos are great to keep in the freezer and warm them up individually when you want one. These burritos also keep in the fridge for a few days and warm up easily for a minute or so in the microwave.
To freeze them, just add them to a freezer safe ziplock bag. They will keep in the freezer for 3-4 months. To reheat a frozen burrito, place on a plate and and cover with a paper towel. Use the defrost option if frozen and then heat for 1-2 minutes or until warmed.

Beef Been and Cheese Burritos

Beef Bean and Cheese Burritos for dinner or an after school snack!

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow or white onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 16oz. block Velvet Cheese cut into chunks
  • 1 10oz. can mild RoTel
  • 1 16oz. can refried beans
  • 6 burrito size flour tortillas

  1. In a large skillet add a little olive oil and cook the diced onions until translucent. Add in the ground beef and brown the ground beef until it is cooked through. Sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper and stir to combine.

  2. Add the can of refried beans into the ground beef mixture and mix it all together.

  3. In a separate pan set to medium high heat add the chunks of Velveeta. Add in the undrained can of Mild RoTel and stir the two together as the Velveeta melts to combine. Turn off the heat when the Velveeta is melted.

  4. Place a tortilla onto a plate. Working one flour tortilla at a time add a tablespoon of the queso cheese and then a few tablespoons of the bean and meat mixture. Fold in the edges and roll the tortilla up burrito style. Repeat this assembly step until you run out of tortillas or the bean and meat mixture.

  5. Serve warm with your toppings of choice: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa or hot sauce.

*We love the uncooked flour tortillas that you cook on the skillet at home, but use your favorite brand of tortillas.

*Often times I will blend the Rotel before adding it to the Velveeta cheese. I prefer the texture of it blended, but you can add it however you prefer.

*Extra queso cheese can be served with chips or frozen in smaller portions to be warmed up and enjoyed later.
