Kittencal's Beef Burritos

"You can double the filling mixture or prepare the complete burrito and freeze, trust me when you taste these burritos you will be making them all the time! If you are using dryed pinto beans then they will need to soak in water for 24 hours. Prep time does not include soaking the beans for 24 hours. The recipe can be made using half ground beef and ground pork if desired Yield is only estimated depending on the amount of filling used in the burrito, all amounts may be adjusted to suit taste."

  1. wow are these good! the only thing i did differently is use a can of burrito refried beans (they have green chilis and garlic in them) bc i didn't have any raw ones. Plus i like refried beans in burritos lol oooey gooey goodness, just fantastic.
     
  2. Kitten, your recipes are always so perfectly delicious, with no exceptions here! Used lean ground turkey, low fat refried beans in place of the beans, and reduced fat cheese...otherwise followed to a T. Thanks for another keeper!
     
  3. This was delicious! I used a 15 oz can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained, and left them whole. I used a 4 oz can of chopped chiles, liquid and all. I filled 10 large tortillas and had about a cup of left over filling. DS used the leftover for nachos. I love that these can be frozen! Thanks for posting. Updated 1/24/2013: Reheated the frozen burritos. I froze single and double burritos in foil. With 2 burritos in a single pack it took about an hour to be ready to eat. Had a slight bit of trouble with the tortilla sticking to the foil, but they were still delicious! I will definitely be making these again!
     
  4. Great recipe! I make them with ground turkey and the hubby loves them! I have made the whole batch and froze them and they reheat so well....you can't even tell they've been frozen!
     
  5. These burritos were perfect. I knew they would be. My husband loved them because they are nicely spiced! If you go a little heavy on the Cayenne pepper, it works great for people who like spicy. I followed the recipe and I will add this one to my regualr rotation. Yum! Thanks Kittencal!
