Tasty Beef and Bean Burritos

There are a couple nights of the week where we need a quick and easy meal for nights we're going to the Y. This one I found on The Pioneer Woman. I am really finding a lot of neat recipes there. She had a lot of great ideas for add-ons to the recipes which I took advantage of. The filling for the burritos was just delicious. I have never really liked the taco seasoning that comes with taco packets. The El Pato sauce really makes this dish.


Ingredients:
1 to 2 lbs ground beef
1 can (7 oz) El Pato Mexican Tomato Sauce
Cumin, oregano, garlic to taste (chili powder can be added too)
1 can (28 oz) Refried Beans (we used Old El Paso)
3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 or more flour tortillas

Extras inside:
Lettuce
Small slices of tomato

Extras On Top:
Shredded cheddar cheese
Guacamole
Sour Cream


Instructions:

• Brown ground beef and season to taste.
• Pour in sauce (saving a little for drizzling) and let simmer over low heat.
• In saucepan, heat refried beans and add shredded cheddar. Stir until melted and mixed in with the beans. Keep warm over low heat.
  
• Spread a few spoonfuls of refried beans onto tortilla. Add meat mixture.
  
• Add lettuce and tomato and wrap into a burrito.
• Sprinkle cheese on top and microwave until melted.
• If desired, spread guacamole and sour cream on top.
  
• Drizzle extra sauce on top. (I forgot to set some aside for this.)
  

Enjoy! This was delicious with a side of Mexican rice.
