This recipe is my husband's FAVORITE recipe. If I allowed him to, he'd make it 365 days a year. It comes from his mother, and it really is pretty good. But, in an effort to jazz it up a bit, I convinced him to use some leftover beef roast once - and we rarely make it with ground beef anymore. Then we started experimenting with different leftover meats, and they all turned out well. Just a warning for those who like their Mexican spicy, though -- this is not very spicy!

2 cups cheddar cheese
1 can diced mexican tomatoes (either with chilies or mexican spicing)
1/3 - head of lettuce

How To Make burritos

Step 1

Fry ground beef on high. Turn off heat. Add refried beans, ½ package of cheese, can of Mexican tomatoes, and lettuce to ground beef while meat is still warm. Stir until mixed well.

Step 2

Spray a 9 x 13 with non-stick cooking spray. Place flour tortilla in hand, scoop some meat mixture onto flour tortilla, and roll into burrito. Check burrito for filling size (is it too much/too little?) and adjust accordingly. Place newly formed burrito overlapping-edge-side down into pan. Line pan with burritos until meat mix is gone.
Step 3

In separate bowl, mix enchilada sauce and tomato sauce. Pour mix evenly over burritos. Cover and bake at 350*F for 40 minute. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Bake for another 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
Step 4

If you're using pre-cooked shredded meat, don't fry any ground beef, but, instead, put the meat and broth in a simmer pan and bring to temp. We never timed it, so, maybe 10 minutes? Then finish the recipe, per the norm.
