Beef and Bean Burritos

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We had burritos planned for Tuesday until I realized today was Cinco de Mayo and thought it be more appropriate today. These were muy delicioso!! I was full after one but craving more and my brother helped himself to a second one.

Recipe below makes 4-5 burritos.

1 lb lean ground beef
1 white onion, chopped
1 can (246 ml) red enchilada sauce
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 can refried beans
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (plus extra for sprinkling)
1 package mexican rice (its a thing... from old el paso)
1 avocado (either made into guacamole or chopped if not ready for guac)
Shredded (chopped) lettuce
Source cream
Cilantro
Flour tortillas

Start the rice and follow the instructions on the box. The rice takes approximately 20 minutes to cook. Brown the beef in a frying pan over medium high heat. Once the meat begins to brown, add chopped onions. Cook for a few minutes and then add the cumin, oregano, chili and garlic powder. Cook for a minute. Add 1/2 the can of sauce. Reduce heat to low. Heat up refried beans in a pot. Add 1/3 of the cheese to the beans. Prepare your burrito... I did mine in this order: refried beans, rice, beef, cheese, avocado, lettuce. Fold the burrito closed and place in a baking pan, seam side down. Once you've prepared the 4-5 burritos, pour the remained on the enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle the remaining cheese. Cook under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Top with sour cream and cilantro.
