Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Salsa (1 cup)
  • Sour cream (1/2 cup)
  • Tomato (1, diced)
  • Lettuce (1 cup, shredded)
  • Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
  • Flour tortillas (4)
  • Pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Cumin (1 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Tomato sauce (1 cup)
  • Pinto beans (1 can (15 ounce), drained and rinsed)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Onion (1, chopped)
  • Ground beef (1 pound)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in the pinto beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  4. While the beef and pinto bean mixture is simmering, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  5. Place a generous scoop of the beef and bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
  7. Serve the Pinto Bean and Beef Burritos warm with additional salsa or sour cream on the side if desired. Enjoy your homemade Mexican feast!
