My cousin is of Mexican heritage, and I’ve watched her make this crunchy beef burrito recipe for years. The very first time I made them for my own family, they instantly became a favorite meal. They’re even better warmed up the next day in the microwave. —Debi Lane, Chattanooga, Tennessee

Tasty Burritos

beef

taco seasoning

(16 ounces) refried beans

flour tortillas (12 inches), warmed

Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

canola oil

Sour cream and salsa

I've made a similar recipe before but by adding the last step of frying the burritos after they were rolled just brought them up to a higher level of deliciousness! Everyone raved about them at dinner tonight. Going to make them this way from now on. Thanks for sharing!

This was such an easy recipe, but so delicious.  You can make them any weeknight.  My husband loved them.  I will be making the often.

I made these today and they're a keeper. Had run out of sour cream, but they were good anyway with salsa. I make my own tortillas and they were especially good. Have two left over for another meal.

As written, this is a very basic recipe that is not too bad as described.  I like to add a little cooked rice and black beans (drained and rinsed), plus some sauteed jalapeno peppers or canned  green chilies and a little of your favorite taco sauce to the refried beans then mix, spread that magic on and then add in the meat and cheese, roll then fry in a light oil.  Throw some additional shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, guac, olives, or whatever adders you like on the plate and you basically have a chimichanga, not a burrito.  Shredded seasoned chicken or ground chorizo is also great to substitute for the beef.  If you don't want meat, use more black beans and leave the meat out.  Also, have fun with the cheeses used... this is a basic recipe.

When I was a teenager I used to eat dinner at my boyfriends house, his mother was Mexican American. Were her burritos authentic Mexican, NO, were they from scratch, NO, were they freaking AMAZINGLY delicious, HECK YES.  Pretty much follow this recipe, but she would chop a russet into diced pieces so they'd cook quick and become soft, and she'd add a can of whole green beans, (not French sliced). I know the beans are about un-mexican as you can get, but the papas made that burrito stand out in my mind for 50 years.  She didn't use a seasoning spice in the packet, Mama used jalapeños and ohhhhh baby did my eyes water, but I loved them. Another little thing I learned from her was she would take her flour tortilla and put it on her stove top burner and turn it as it would darken. You would swear that tortilla just came off a tortilla press.

These are so tasty and easy!!!  I will be making them again!!!  The only thing I added was a small can of green chilies.

I've been making these for years, but like another reviewer, I mix the beans with the meat. I prefer old el paso Burrito Seasoning instead of taco seasoning. Our stores do not stock it anymore, but I get it online at walmart or Amazon. Occasionally, it is stocked in walmart super centers.

These were tasty fried and will do again.  I do think there could be some improvements made to the basic recipe though using different seasonings than taco seasoning.

I make these, using salsa in the burritos, instead of taco seasoning mix. Plate them on a bed of shredded lettuce, for that authentic taqueria look!

I have been making burritos this way for years. They are so much better when you fry them instead of bake them. I also add onion, sometime a can of rotel, rice, southwest corn....you can change these up in a lot of ways! I have also made my own taco seasoning when I was in a pinch! This is a great starter recipe!  I saw someone else added cilantro. I think I will try that tonight! I planned to make burritos tonight and happened to see this online!

Very easy to make and tastes very good.  Especially the second

Made as written except put the cheese on top instead of inside.  Very good!!!

My husband is a very picky eater, but he loves Taco Bell all beef burritos. So, I took a chance that he would like these. He LOVED them and told me I should make them again. He rarely says that. I did not use beans because he won't eat them and I added some leftover Taco Bell sauce packets to it. I used the 8" soft taco size tortillas. Also, I used Pam to fry them,  not oil.  They were a hit!

I made this recipe strait up.  It was good enough, I guess, but we like more flavor.  So if I were to make these again, definitely some garlic, onion powder, oregano, cumin and salt in the beans.

These are easy and delicious! My family really enjoyed these. The recipe can be easily customized to your families taste, if you want a little more spice add some Jared jalape?os, don't have that cheese on hand add some cheddar or Monterey Jack.Great served with a salad and rice and beans! I made mine just slightly different by adding the beans and cheese directly into the pan with the beef warming and mixing everything together. We will make these again!

Loved these.  Did add small amount of Mexican rice.  Easy.  Made enough (just 2 of us) for 3 days of meals and seemed to better! thank you for sharing this recipe!

I’ve made and froze these for years.  One of our favorite go to for a quick lunch!

Easy and great recipe! I love recipes that I can follow exactly the first time I make it to give it a fair shot AND play with/add whatever pops in my head for follow-up cooking. If you do choose to add additional ingredients,  be careful not to add to much or over stuff. I never thought I would live crunchy tortillas so much. Thanks for the recipe.

"Dang, these are good!" That's what my husband said about them. They are super-easy to throw together even for a weeknight supper and are seriously delicious. I will be adding these to my meal rotation.

Have made this recipe many times.  Making it tonight, in the oven 450 for 15 min.  I also add spanish rice to the filling.  Makes it a little healthier as you don't add as much meat.

I've made these for years, but I heat the beans in with the meat after the meat is browned. I also use salsa instead of taco seasoning, but either one is good. I add the cheese to the meat/bean mixture and it's the perfect one pan meal.

Thank you for sharing this simple and quick recipe!
