    One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of the week is make a double recipe of Ground Beef Tacos so I have plenty of leftovers to make some delicious Tex Mex dinners all week! One of those is this Beef Burrito Recipe!

    This dinner comes together quickly, so it's a great time saver. I know there are cooks who love to spend a long time in the kitchen, but that's not me! I'm usually tying to throw something together between work and my daughter's sports schedule. If this sounds like you-read on!

    What's in this Beef Burrito Recipe?

    • Ground Beef Taco Recipe (ground beef, potatoes, garlic, onions, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, s&p)
    • Refried beans (homemade or canned)
    • Shredded cheese
    • Any additional ingredients like sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and guacamole
    • Flour tortillas

    How do I make the burritos?

    I'll assume you already have some left over Ground Beef Taco meat heating up in the microwave. If you don't just whip up a batch of it, or use 1.5 pounds of meat and packaged taco seasoning. Have all of the your add-ins prepped and ready to go before you warm up the tortillas.

    By the way, I prefer warming my tortilla up on the stove in a skillet or griddle pan rather than the microwave. I just like the little bit of browning that happens there. But if you don't mind using the microwave, then by all means use it. Once the tortillas are hot, put them in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.

    Now you're ready to make the burritos. Set a tortilla on plate and start layering on the ingredients. I start with refried beans, then the taco meat, cheese...just keep going with whatever else you want in there.

    These really are super simple and yummy! Sometimes I will wrap them in foil to keep them warm-other times I drizzle some Taco Sauce over them and eat them with a fork and knife.

      Your beef burritos look scrumptious and such a good way to use up beef taco meat. I also love burritos with lots of other filling ingredients. Yum!

      I can't say no to a couple of beef burritos with all the trimmings. This looks so delicious and I agree that burritos are quick and easy when you've made up a batch of ground beef taco meat beforehand.
