Family Dinners: Easy Baked Burritos

I kind of forgot about this burrito recipe my friend shared with me years ago. We usually do the make-your-own kind, but this one is super tasty and very quick. My husband perfers these.

I left the sauce off a couple small ones to give the kids two options. My 14-month old ate both kinds and my daughter had mostly the tortilla and cheese part of the burrito along with the quacamole I served with it. She’s into tortillas right now.

I hope you enjoy!

Servings: 4-6 large burritos (or more smaller ones)
Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
-1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
-1 onion chopped
-2 garlic cloves minced
-2 tsp chili powder
-1 tsp cumin
-15 oz can pinto beans
-28 oz can green chile enchilada sauce (or 2 small ones)
-Large flour tortillas (whole wheat optional)
-Grated jack or cheddar cheddar cheese for topping (as much as you want!)

Preheat oven to 300. Spray fry pan with cooking spray and brown turkey or beef. Add diced onion, garlic and spices. Simmer until well done. Add can of pinto beans and stir. Fill tortillas with meat mix and roll over in a casserole dish. Cover with green sauce and sprinkle cheese on top. Place in oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

These look great. I’m from NM, so I love that you added the green chili sauce. I hope you’ll join our No Whine Wednesday link up!

I tried these last night…they were yummy. I doubled the cumin and thought they might get a little warmer at 350 instead of 300. I added sour cream to my daughter’s portion..they were a big hit in our house…and so very fast! Thanks so much for sharing these. They remind me of the kind of smothered burritos you get in Colorado.

These look good. I copied the slow cooker lasagna to try later this week. Your recipes you post all look good.
