Lazy Burritos

Too-fatty burritos that are a good quick lunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef (80% lean)
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 14oz can of low-fat refried beans
  • Several large tortillas
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Seasonings (all to taste):
    • Salt
    • Garlic powder
    • Cumin
    • Harissa (substitute with chili powder + cayenne)

Preparation

  1. In a large pan, start browning the beef over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced onions after a couple minutes, and stir-fry(?) until the onions are translucent. Add all seasonings here.
  3. Add refried beans, and stir until well-combined. Remove from heat.
  4. Place a few ounces of the filling on a tortilla. Add shredded cheese and any other toppings. Roll the burrito closed. Serve

Notes

I think this recipe works really well for making a lot of filling, and then making burritos over the next few days. It’s quite fatty because of the 80% ground beef, and this can sit a little heavy; I’d recommend having some fresh vegetables on the side.
