Step 1
Add the 2lbs of beef to a pot with about 2 cups of water. Put the stove on low and keep breaking up the pieces with a potato masher until the beef is cooked through. (If you stop too early, they can reform to bigger clumps!) When done, throw off the excess fat.
Step 2
Season the way you like it with salt, black pepper, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. (The cumin and chili powder are the main ingredients) I love spicy foods so I add lots of black pepper, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper.
Step 3
Add a cup of water then stir in the tomato paste.
Step 4
Throw in the diced onions and drained beans.
Step 5
Allow to cook for 30 minutes, then leave the mixture to cool.
Step 6
Once cool, weigh everything by transferring to another pot or large bowl on your kitchen scale. Take this weight and divide it by 32 to know how much each burrito should be filled with.
Step 7
How to fold burritos: Add the filling at the bottom half of the tortilla. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling. Fold down the sides. Tightly roll your burrito the rest of the way.
Step 8
To freeze, wrap your burritos in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Seal with masking tape and label, if desired.
Step 9
To reheat: Remove the wrapping from the burrito and place it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Flip the burrito halfway through.
