Yield: 8 – 10 burritos; 4 – 5 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 1 tbsp peanut oil
• 1 1/2 cups pinto beans – or beans of your choice, soaked overnight & drained
• sprinkle of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp Ancho chili powder – We use Royal Command Ancho Chili Powder.
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika – We use La Chinata Smoked Paprika Powder.
• 1 tbsp jalepeño pepper – seeded, finely chopped
• 2 scallions – diced
• 1/2 green pepper – finely chopped
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 cup salsa – or as desired
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 tsp ground red chili flakes
• 10 flour tortillas
• 1 1/2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese – more or less, as you wish
• 1 cup cheddar cheese – more or less, as you wish

Instructions:

1. Beginning with 3 quarts of cold water, cook beans until tender. Season to taste. Mash beans up and set aside.
2. Brown beef with peanut oil, cayenne pepper, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and chili flakes.
3. Add in scallions, garlic, peppers, and stir through.
4. When beef is well browned and peppers are tender, drain fat off.
5. Stir 3/4 of salsa into bean mixture. Add in half of cheeses.
6. Spoon bean mixture into flour tortillas. Then, spoon beef mixture.
7. Arrange burritos in an oiled baking dish topping with the rest of the salsa and cheese, and cover with foil. * Tip: At this point, you may opt to BBQ the burritos to make beautiful grill marks, then serve with salsa & extras on the side.
8. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 – 20 min, then serve.

If you wish to freeze burritos, wrap separately in foil tightly. When ready to eat, bake in foil at 350 degrees F for about 35 – 40 min.
