The Big Burrito Recipes

THE BIG BURRITO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250°F.
• Based on input from a friend here at Recipezaar (thanks Gingernut), I am recommending that you put your beans in a large kettle, cover them with water and bring them to a boil. Remove them from the heat and drain and rinse the beans and put them in a roasting pan with the meat. (The original recipe does not par-boil the beans but it is recommended for health/safety reasons. If you do not par-boil your beans you should be prepared to cook the meat/bean mixture for 16-18 hours).
• In a mixing bowl combine the picante sauce, cream of mushroom soup, onion, salt, pepper and water or beef broth ( I use beef broth for extra flavor).
• Pour the mixture over the beans and meat.
• Cover and cook slowly (250F) for 12-16 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Just before serving, break meat into pieces with a large spoon and stir to combine meat, beans and pan juices.
• Serve with flour tortillas and a variety of condiments including cheese, onions, jalapenos, olives, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes and salsa.
• Can be frozen for OAMC.

BEEF AND BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170 to 180 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions until softened. Then add the ground beef and cook until the beef is cooked through. Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano and salt and stir to combine. Pour 2 cans of the Mexican tomato sauce into the meat and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Add a little water if the mixture gets too dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cheese, and stir it in till its melted. Remove from the heat.
• Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute, and then spread a small amount of beans on each tortilla. Add a small amount of the meat. Fold over the ends of the tortilla, and then roll them up. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Then place them in a large baking dish, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven.
• When ready to serve, drizzle the remaining can of tomato sauce over all of the burritos and sprinkle with more grated Cheddar. Return to the oven for a couple of minutes just to melt the cheese.
• Sprinkle the tops with the cilantro leaves and serve immediately to the fork-bangers in your life. They'll kiss you and hug you. Repeatedly.
