How To Make beef & bean burritos

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray shallow baking dish with PAM. Drizzle a little enchilada sauce on bottom to help prevent sticking.
• Step 2
  Brown ground beef until cooked. (You can also add minced onion, cumin, etc. if desired.) Drain off fat.
• Step 3
  Meanwhile, add 1 cup cheddar cheese to refried beans and slowly heat in sauce pan.
• Step 4
  When ground beef is done and fat is drained off, add 1/2 can El Pato tomato sauce to meat mixture. (I'm a wimp, so I have to add a few tablespoons of the mild enchilada sauce to tone it down.)
• Step 5
  Simmer mixture while you prepare toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomatoes, etc.)
• Step 6
  When cheese is melted and combined with refried beans, take a large tablespoon (or more depending on the size of your flour tortilla) and place in the center. Add a tablespoon of ground beef.
• Step 7
  Fold sides in and then fold bottom of tortilla up toward top, carefully rolling it up - it takes some practice.
• Step 8
  Place seam side down in baking dish. Continue to make burritos and add to baking dish.
• Step 9
  Pour remaining sauce/s over burritos. (I use the mild enchilada sauce for me, and the spicy tomato sauce for my husband.) Top with remaining cheese.
• Step 10
  Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
• Step 11
  You can also microwave this dish, but I prefer to bake it in the oven.
• Step 12
  When ready to serve, place on platter and top with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and other toppings as desired.
