Chili Cheese Burritos are a quick and easy dinner that comes together effortlessly. Savory chili tucked in a tortilla wrapper and topped with your favorite goodies makes for a dinner you'll want on repeat.
toppings for burritos: sour cream, salsa, diced avocado, and/or guacamole
Instructions
In a large pot, cook the beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink and the onions have started to go clear. Add the beans, tomato sauce, and chili seasoning mix. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Warm the tortillas until they are soft and pliable. Divide the meat mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese. Add your choice of additional toppings.
Roll up and serve.
Notes
To freeze: Be sure to chill the filling prior to rolling the burritos. Use room temperature tortillas for best results and less cracking. Wrap each burrito in deli wrap and place in a ziptop freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or thaw slightly and bake or cook on the griddle.Assembly tips: If you have the space, lay out all the tortillas at once so that you can easily divide the filling evenly. Using an ice cream scoop is great for evenly portioning burrito filling. I use deli waxed paper to wrap each burrito if I’m going to be freezing them.Adaptation: if you have a favorite chili or leftover chili from a previous night, omit the chili-making step and its corresponding ingredients. Promptly refrigerate leftovers and consume within 4 days.Nutritional values are based on one burrito and do not include values for additional toppings.
