Ingredients
- For the Chili Meat Mixture:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups water, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- For the Filling:
- 1 (16 oz) can refried beans
- 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste (about 6 tablespoons)
- 3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 10 (10-inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
- Cook the Meat Mixture: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in chili powder, cayenne, and salt, followed by 2 cups of water.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with the remaining 2 tablespoons of water. Stir this into the beef mixture and bring to a simmer to thicken.
- Add the Beans and Tomato Paste: Stir in refried beans and tomato paste until well combined. Add 1½ cups of shredded cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
- Assemble the Burritos: Warm tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften. On each tortilla, sprinkle a pinch of shredded cheese, then add ¼ to ½ cup of the beef mixture. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up into a log.
- Serve: Serve the burritos with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
