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)

- 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
- 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.
- Stir in the pinto beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the Pinto Bean and Beef Burritos warm with additional salsa or sour cream on the side if desired. Enjoy your homemade Mexican feast!
