WEEKEND TREATS

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

Tasty Burritos

Total Time

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Makes: 6 servings

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. 

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
• 6 flour tortillas (12 inches), warmed
• 1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 teaspoons canola oil
• Sour cream and salsa

Directions

In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning; remove from skillet and set aside. Wipe skillet clean.

In a small saucepan, cook refried beans over medium-low heat until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

Spoon about 1/3 cup of beans off-center on each tortilla; top with 1/4 cup beef mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold sides and ends of tortillas over filling and roll up.

In same skillet over medium-high heat, brown burritos in oil on all sides. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Freeze option: Individually wrap cooled burritos in paper towels and foil; freeze in a freezer container. To use, remove foil; place paper towel-wrapped burrito on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until heated through, turning once, 3-4 minutes. Let stand 20 seconds.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
