There is nothing quite like a warm burrito to hit the spot after a long day. These are packed with seasoned ground beef, pinto beans, and plenty of melty cheese to keep everyone happy at the dinner table.

I love making a big batch of these on the weekend because they store so well. When you need a quick meal, just grab one from the freezer and toast it in a skillet until the outside is perfectly golden brown.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or extra salsa

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until it is fully browned, then drain off any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Stir in the pinto beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors can combine.

  3. 3

    Spoon a portion of the beef mixture into the center of each flour tortilla and top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.

  5. 5

    Place the burritos seam side down in a warm skillet over medium heat and toast until golden brown on all sides.

💡 Tips

To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. You can reheat them straight from frozen in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. Serve these with a side of cilantro lime rice for a filling meal.
