Baked Burritos

SUPER BLOGGAL SIDE NOTE: Because Amber and I are making some of this recipes up, some of the measurements may be a bit wonky. I tried my hardest to write them all down but this is an experiment in the making.

As it is the new year, the sister and I are trying to put our heads together for some new food ideas. This is sort of like a chimichanga, right?!?! Ok, not really but still tastes great and is a much better choice. You can put whatever you want in these, I think next time I am going to add in the sauteed onions and peppers from the fajita recipe!

Side note: Don't feel pressure to use the green sauce...we just prefer those over the red sauces.

Baked Burritos

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 small package ground beef

1 half onion

1 can black beans

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1-2 cups mexican green sauce

6 flour tortillas

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook beef and onion on stove top until cooked through. Rinse black beans well (really well, the stuff they store those beans in is GROSS and full of salt). In each tortilla, layer a scoop of the meat mixture, a scoop of the black beans a pinch of the cheese. Wrap up tortilla and place in baking dish. (Don't know how to wrap a burrito? Fold down the top and bottom and roll the sides over. Place seam side down. Don't freak out if it doesn't look great...it all taste the same. Refer to the broken one in my picture.)

Pour green sauce and remaining cheese over burritos. Bake until crispy and cheese is melted, about 12-15 minutes.
