Fuzzyhead's Favorite Saucy Burritos
"We make these giant burritos with Soyrizo - a meatless alternative to Chorizo. You can substitute the real thing if you like, just be sure to drain it well."

ingredients
- 8 burrito-size flour tortillas
- 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 (12 ounce) package soy chorizo
- 2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
-
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
- tomatoes, chopped (optional)
- green onion, chopped (optional)
- sour cream (optional)
- black olives, sliced (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking pan.
- In a large, deep skillet, heat Soyrizo, refried beans and one can of enchilada sauce over medium-high heat until thoroughly blended and heated through.
- To assemble, divide mixture evenly among 8 tortillas. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons shredded cheese on top of each, and roll up, tucking in the ends if you wish. Place rolled burritos seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour remaining can of enchilada sauce over burritos (you may want to spread it around with the back of a spoon for more even coverage). Top with remaining shredded cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until sauce is hot and bubbly. Serve with optional toppings. If desired, you can also bake them a bit longer uncovered to let the cheese brown, but we can never wait that long!
- These can be refrigerated or frozen before baking to serve at a later date.

These were super good and easy. I couldn't get soy chorizo, so used the real stuff. Also subbed fat-free refried beans and used salsa inside the burritos (I only bought one can of enchilada sauce). The tortillas I used were the low carb; high fiber variety. My DH said they were "better than a Mexican restaurant". Thanks for posting! Made for PAC spring 2010 -
Loved these! Made as directed with fat free refrieds and reduced fat cheddar cheese. This was the first time I tried soy chorizo and boy it's good stuff. Used all of the optional toppings and served with recipe #159900. What a great quick, super easy vegetarian meal. Will definitely make these again. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

I live in the Dallas area with my man, our dogs and our cat. I have a job as an bookkeeper/office manager for a catering company (yum) and like just about everyone else here at 'Zaar, I love to cook! I also love hiking and backpacking, so I like to try and devise exciting and tasty meals that can be prepared in the backcountry.
I'm always looking for new dishes to try, or ways to make old dishes new again. I have a big brick fire pit in the backyard that my man built, so I've been exploring ways to cook in it, over it, etc.
I have a very food-oriented family. Many of us have food-related careers and we use any occasion as an excuse to eat and drink. I wouldn't have it any other way!
