With all their flavor, versatility and ease, it’s no wonder why burritos have become such a staple on family dinner tables everywhere.<\/p>\n
Ingredients for Burritos<\/h2>\n\n- Ground beef:<\/strong> Ground beef is a popular meat filling for burritos, though it’s certainly not the only meat you can use in your filling. Try another ground meat or even a plant-based meat substitute<\/a> like tofu or tempeh.<\/li>\n
- Taco seasoning:<\/strong> A burrito is only as good as its seasoning. You can use your favorite store-bought taco seasoning brand<\/a>, or try your hand at making a homemade taco seasoning mix<\/a> to flavor the meat.<\/li>\n
- Refried beans:<\/strong> Refried beans help add moisture and bind the meat filling with melted cheese. Canned refried beans are an easy, affordable and convenient option. You can make your own home-style refried beans<\/a>, too.<\/li>\n
- Tortillas:<\/strong> Save the corn tortillas for tacos!\u00a0For burritos, you’ll want to use your favorite brand of flour tortillas or make homemade tortillas<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Cheese:<\/strong> A blend of Colby and Monterey Jack cheese is perfect for burritos. Both are mild-tasting cheeses that melt smoothly. However, you can use any blend of cheeses you enjoy. Asadero, Oaxaca, pepper jack and Chihuahua cheeses are other tasty types of cheese<\/a> for burritos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Brown the meat<\/h3>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn a large cast-iron or heavy skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain to remove the excess oil, then stir in the taco seasoning. Remove the seasoned beef from the skillet, and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.<\/p>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn a small saucepan, cook the refried beans over medium-low heat until heated through, two to three minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Assemble the burritos<\/h3>\n

Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You can gently warm the tortillas before you begin assembling the burritos. This makes them pliable, so they’re less likely to rip or tear when wrapping them around the filling.<\/p>\nStep 4: Seal and serve<\/h3>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn the same skillet you used to cook the beef, brown the burritos in canola oil on all sides over medium-high heat. Transfer to a plate, and serve warm with sour cream and salsa, or the toppings of your choice.<\/p>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nBurrito Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Add more spice to the beef:<\/strong> If traditional taco seasoning doesn’t bring enough heat to the table for you, try adding a pinch (or two) of chipotle chili powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.<\/li>\n
- Swap out the meat:<\/strong> Ground beef is a solid go-to meat choice for burritos, but you could also go for copycat Chipotle chicken<\/a>, pork carnitas or chorizo.<\/li>\n
- Opt for vegetarian burritos:<\/strong> Choose vegetarian refried beans, and swap the ground beef out for plant-based meat or sliced portabello mushrooms and bell peppers.<\/li>\n
- Try a different type of bean: <\/strong>If you don’t enjoy the taste or texture of refried beans, opt for whole beans instead. Black beans and pinto beans are both great options.<\/li>\n
- Add bulk with grains: <\/strong>To add bulk for a more filling burrito, add a scoop of cooked rice. Keep it traditional with our favorite cilantro-lime rice recipe<\/a>, or pack in extra nutrition with a scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice.<\/li>\n
- Load up on vegetables: <\/strong>Don’t forget to add veggies. Pack your burrito to the brim with shredded lettuce, diced or pickled onions, cilantro, diced tomato, avocado, or sweet corn.<\/li>\n
- Make it saucy:<\/strong> For another layer of flavor top your burritos with pico de gallo, copycat Chipotle corn salsa<\/a> or gooey queso blanco.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Burritos<\/h2>\n
Once assembled, a burrito is best enjoyed within 24 hours or the tortilla may become soggy. For the best taste, we suggest storing the ingredients in separate airtight containers and assembling the burritos on-demand for easy meal prep<\/a> if you don’t plan on enjoying the assembled burrito right away.<\/p>\nHow to Freeze Burritos<\/h2>\n
To make freezer burritos<\/a>, cool the burritos to room temperature, and individually wrap them in paper towels and foil. Then, freeze in an airtight freezer container for up to three months. To enjoy, remove the foil, and place the paper towel-wrapped burrito on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until heated through, turning once every couple of minutes. Let stand for 20 seconds before taking that first bite.<\/p>\nBurrito Tips<\/h2>\n
![\"Burritos](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Burritos_FT24_24004_ST_0222_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\")
Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHow do you fold a burrito?<\/h3>\n
Rolling a burrito tightly so it holds all of its precious fillings can take practice, so don’t be discouraged if yours isn’t as pretty as the one from your local taco shop. When you fold a burrito<\/a>, it is important not to overfill your tortilla, as that would make it more difficult to roll and more prone to tearing.<\/p>\nFor best results, assemble the filling in a long cylinder that’s a bit off-center on your tortilla. Then, carefully fold the sides over the ends of the “log” before rolling the tortilla over itself and the filling. Use your fingers and thumbs to carefully tuck and pleat the tortilla as you go, using a firm grip to help guide the burrito’s shape.<\/p>\n
What do you serve with burritos?<\/h3>\n
While a jumbo burrito packed with meat, beans, and veggies is an all-in-one meal, a few side dishes are never a bad idea. Homemade tortilla chips<\/a> with salsa make a great appetizer, and extra refried beans, a pile of fluffy Spanish rice<\/a>, or a platter of Mexican street corn<\/a> would all make tasty additions to any burrito feast.<\/p>\nHow is a burrito different than an enchilada?<\/h3>\n
Burritos share many ingredients with other popular Mexican and Tex-Mex recipes<\/a> like enchiladas, but they are their own unique entity. Unlike\u00a0enchiladas<\/a>, which are rolled, burritos are tightly wrapped with no filling peeking out at the ends. The method in which burritos are wrapped keeps the filling contained and allows them to be a portable, handheld food that does not require a fork and knife.<\/p>\nAdditionally, while enchiladas can be made with either corn or flour tortillas, burritos are exclusively made with flour tortillas and are often grilled or steamed lightly before serving. Burritos can have an array of fillings, but at the very least, a burrito recipe typically includes a savory filling of seasoned meat, beans and cheese.

Throw some additional shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, guac, olives, or whatever adders you like on the plate and you basically have a chimichanga, not a burrito.

I can't even really consider this an actual unique recipe. It's on the back of every can of refried beans or packet of taco seasoning mix. By the way, once you fry the tortilla, it's called a Chimichanga not a burrito. You can certainly use a taco seasoned pulled pork, chicken or brisket too. Been making these (with variations) since I was 15. I'm almost 60 now, so this is nothing new for sure, more like common knowledge. Yes, add black beans and\/or rice if you like, corn if you like, etc. The tortilla is a vessel for whatever you want to mix in. Add tomato, jalape\u00f1os, salsa, whatever you like to the mix before rolling it up. If you fry (or bake) it, it's a Chimichanga, if you don't, it's a burrito. Both are good. I eat chimies with a knife and fork because I top them with more cheese, vegs and sauces (refried beans and rice usually on the side); burritos are mostly hand-held and self contained. You can also substitute small shrimp and\/or crab meat with some queso cheese for some amazing seafood chimichangas too.<\/p>
Maybe make this recipe \"your own\", instead of posting this generic off-the-shelf thing. You know, like homemade refried beans, your own homemade tortilla shells, your own taco seasoning blend, etc...<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-01-10","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Aidenmaddiemom"},"reviewBody":"

She didn't use a seasoning spice in the packet, Mama used jalape\u00f1os and ohhhhh baby did my eyes water, but I loved them.

In fact, it's a lot like what many taco chains are doing these days.
<\/div>If you make a batch and freeze them for later, the best way to reheat them is in an air fryer<\/a>. If you only have a microwave, cook the unwrapped burrito for a 1 minute and then let it sit in the microwave for 30 seconds; then repeat this process and your burrito should be hot throughout. Now all you need is some fresh homemade salsa <\/a>to go with it. <\/div>","DigitalHeadnotes":"My cousin is of Mexican heritage, and I\u2019ve watched her make this crunchy beef burrito recipe for years.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Brown the meat<\/h3>\n
In a large cast-iron or heavy skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain to remove the excess oil, then stir in the taco seasoning. Remove the seasoned beef from the skillet, and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.<\/p>\n In a small saucepan, cook the refried beans over medium-low heat until heated through, two to three minutes.<\/p>\n Spoon about 1\/3 cup refried beans off-center on each tortilla. Top each with 1\/4 cup seasoned beef. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Then, fold the sides and ends of the tortilla over the filling. Roll the tortilla over the filling until sealed.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You can gently warm the tortillas before you begin assembling the burritos. This makes them pliable, so they’re less likely to rip or tear when wrapping them around the filling.<\/p>\n In the same skillet you used to cook the beef, brown the burritos in canola oil on all sides over medium-high heat. Transfer to a plate, and serve warm with sour cream and salsa, or the toppings of your choice.<\/p>\n Once assembled, a burrito is best enjoyed within 24 hours or the tortilla may become soggy. For the best taste, we suggest storing the ingredients in separate airtight containers and assembling the burritos on-demand for easy meal prep<\/a> if you don’t plan on enjoying the assembled burrito right away.<\/p>\n To make freezer burritos<\/a>, cool the burritos to room temperature, and individually wrap them in paper towels and foil. Then, freeze in an airtight freezer container for up to three months. To enjoy, remove the foil, and place the paper towel-wrapped burrito on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until heated through, turning once every couple of minutes. Let stand for 20 seconds before taking that first bite.<\/p>\n Rolling a burrito tightly so it holds all of its precious fillings can take practice, so don’t be discouraged if yours isn’t as pretty as the one from your local taco shop. When you fold a burrito<\/a>, it is important not to overfill your tortilla, as that would make it more difficult to roll and more prone to tearing.<\/p>\n For best results, assemble the filling in a long cylinder that’s a bit off-center on your tortilla. Then, carefully fold the sides over the ends of the “log” before rolling the tortilla over itself and the filling. Use your fingers and thumbs to carefully tuck and pleat the tortilla as you go, using a firm grip to help guide the burrito’s shape.<\/p>\n While a jumbo burrito packed with meat, beans, and veggies is an all-in-one meal, a few side dishes are never a bad idea. Homemade tortilla chips<\/a> with salsa make a great appetizer, and extra refried beans, a pile of fluffy Spanish rice<\/a>, or a platter of Mexican street corn<\/a> would all make tasty additions to any burrito feast.<\/p>\n Burritos share many ingredients with other popular Mexican and Tex-Mex recipes<\/a> like enchiladas, but they are their own unique entity. Unlike\u00a0enchiladas<\/a>, which are rolled, burritos are tightly wrapped with no filling peeking out at the ends. The method in which burritos are wrapped keeps the filling contained and allows them to be a portable, handheld food that does not require a fork and knife.<\/p>\n Additionally, while enchiladas can be made with either corn or flour tortillas, burritos are exclusively made with flour tortillas and are often grilled or steamed lightly before serving. Burritos can have an array of fillings, but at the very least, a burrito recipe typically includes a savory filling of seasoned meat, beans and cheese. Packed with beans, your choice of protein and a myriad of other potential fillings, this easy burrito recipe is your launchpad to unlimited flavor combinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7061,"featured_media":1968360,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"tags":[304032,307308,306849,304328,305271,304292,304338,304343,303966,307320,340638,303887,306848,304268,307307,305383,305374,304350,324623,304020,304005,340660,303883,306875],"categories-v2":[308623,310347,309605,308984,308481,309216,308305,308992,308993,308495,310362,340804,308478,309603,259483,310342,309391,309381,309001,309177,308594,308549,340843,308476,309790],"coauthors":[206601],"recommended_recipes":[{"post_title":"Chicken

I like to add a little cooked rice and black beans (drained and rinsed), plus some sauteed jalapeno peppers or canned green chilies and a little of your favorite taco sauce to the refried beans then mix, spread that magic on and then add in the meat and cheese, roll then fry in a light oil. Throw some additional shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, guac, olives, or whatever adders you like on the plate and you basically have a chimichanga, not a burrito. Shredded seasoned chicken or ground chorizo is also great to substitute for the beef. If you don't want meat, use more black beans and leave the meat out. Also, have fun with the cheeses used... this is a basic recipe.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-07-31","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Ray748"},"reviewBody":" I can't even really consider this an actual unique recipe. It's on the back of every can of refried beans or packet of taco seasoning mix. By the way, once you fry the tortilla, it's called a Chimichanga not a burrito. You can certainly use a taco seasoned pulled pork, chicken or brisket too. Been making these (with variations) since I was 15. I'm almost 60 now, so this is nothing new for sure, more like common knowledge. Yes, add black beans and\/or rice if you like, corn if you like, etc. The tortilla is a vessel for whatever you want to mix in. Add tomato, jalape\u00f1os, salsa, whatever you like to the mix before rolling it up. If you fry (or bake) it, it's a Chimichanga, if you don't, it's a burrito. Both are good. I eat chimies with a knife and fork because I top them with more cheese, vegs and sauces (refried beans and rice usually on the side); burritos are mostly hand-held and self contained. You can also substitute small shrimp and\/or crab meat with some queso cheese for some amazing seafood chimichangas too.<\/p> Maybe make this recipe \"your own\", instead of posting this generic off-the-shelf thing. You know, like homemade refried beans, your own homemade tortilla shells, your own taco seasoning blend, etc...<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-01-10","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Aidenmaddiemom"},"reviewBody":" So easy and delicious!

Were her burritos authentic Mexican, NO, were they from scratch, NO, were they freaking AMAZINGLY delicious, HECK YES. Pretty much follow this recipe, but she would chop a russet into diced pieces so they'd cook quick and become soft, and she'd add a can of whole green beans, (not French sliced). I know the beans are about un-mexican as you can get, but the papas made that burrito stand out in my mind for 50 years. She didn't use a seasoning spice in the packet, Mama used jalape\u00f1os and ohhhhh baby did my eyes water, but I loved them. Another little thing I learned from her was she would take her flour tortilla and put it on her stove top burner and turn it as it would darken.
