🙞 Burritos

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef, or alternative as desired
• 1 can refried beans
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ white onion
• ½ tomato
• 4 tbs taco seasoning
• ¾ cup water
• Tortillas, flour or corn as desired
• Shredded Mexican cheese
• Tapatio hot sauce, chili verde sauce, optional

Equipment

• Skillet or frying pan
• Heat-safe containers

Preparation

• Place taco seasoning and water into a medium glass and mix thoroughly to create seasoning slurry
• Dice onion and tomato, reserve in separate containers

Instructions

1. Place ground beef into pan over medium heat, using spatula to separate into small chunks, then cook until browned
2. Flip ground beef, then separate more, creating smaller chunks
3. Once ground beef has been completely browned, drain any grease into a tinfoil-lined cup
4. Add seasoning slurry to pan, stirring to combine well
5. Cook seasoned ground beef until excess liquid has been cooked off, then reduce heat to low
6. Warm refried beans in microwave for 2 minutes, stir, then cook for 1 minute more
7. Arrange refried beans, shredded cheese, greek yogurt, hot sauce(s), onion, tomato, and tortillas in a buffet
8. Construct burritos

Notes

These are quick, cheap, Americanized burritos that serve as a platform for many ingredients and configurations, and should not be equated with traditional Mexican burritos.

For cleanup: combine ground beef and onions into the refried beans container, and mix. This should make 1-2 more burritos. Store all other ingredients in separate containers. Wash the pan, spatula, and silverware as soon as possible.
