Beef Burrito Recipe

This Beef Burrito Recipe is a delicious and easy weeknight dinner that satisfies all your Tex-Mex cravings! If you love Ground Beef Tacos, then you’re going to enjoy these Beef Burritos too because they use the same taco meat as the filling.

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!

I’ll assume you already have some left over Ground Beef Taco meat heating up in the microwave. 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.

Keep layering on the goodness!

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.
