Smothered Burritos
Feast your eyes on the most tantalizing burrito you’ve ever laid them on:
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned – no judgment here!)
- 1 taco seasoning packet
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (because cheese makes everything better)
- 2 cups enchilada sauce (or just your favorite sauce that brings you joy)
- Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (if you’re feeling fancy)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and crumbly. Drain any excess fat – we don’t want greasy burritos!
- Add the black beans, corn, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine, and let it sizzle for about 5 minutes. If your stomach is growling right now, that’s a good sign!
- While your filling is heating up, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Get those vibes going!
- Take a tortilla and place a generous scoop of the filling in the center. Sprinkle with a handful of shredded cheese (it should look like a cheesy Christmas present). Roll it up tightly like you’re wrapping your favorite gift.
- Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat until all the glorious fillings are wrapped up.
- Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the burritos. Don’t be shy – they’re thirsty for flavor. Then sprinkle remaining cheese on top (because there’s no such thing as too much cheese).
- Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell like a small fiesta!
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Who knew you could be so adventurous?
Now that you’ve captured burrito magic in your kitchen, you’re ready to dig in! Serve them with some salsa and guacamole on the side for the ultimate treat. Enjoy!
