FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Brown beef with taco seasoning. DO NOT add water to the seasoning as directed on the packet, as we have found this makes the filling much too runny.
• Drain meat.
• Mash beans or process in food processor. I sometimes remove a few of the jalapenos, but this is up to you.
• Stir together beans and seasoned beef. Stir in cheese. One lady I know uses 1 cup, while we sometimes leave it out altogether. This, again, is personal preference.
• Spoon filling into tortillas. We prefer "soft taco" sized tortillas, which will make about 7 burritos. Smaller sizes make them difficult to seal, while larger sizes tend to be "too much" for us, but they may be perfect for you! Be sure to fold in both end of the tortilla; seal shut with toothpicks.
• Heat about 3/4" cooking oil in a pan. When hot, add 2-3 burritos. When the bottom turns a deep gold, after about 3 minutes, flip over and brown other side.
• Drain on a wire rack over a paper-lined plate.

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave. This will prevent them from cracking when you work with them.
• If they are not sufficiently heated, heat for an additional 10 seconds until fairly warm.
• Once heated, keep them warm by placing them in a tortilla warmer, or two inverted plates.
• Put the oil in a deep skillet. The oil should be about an inch deep.
• Turn the burner to medium-low. The oil is ready when a drop of water "dances" on it.
• Remove one tortilla at a time from the warmer and place on clean surface.
• Spread 1-2 tablespoon refried beans in a line down center of tortilla.
• Place half a piece of cheese, followed by an additional fourth a piece cheese on the beans.
• Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla in, then the sides.
• Place, seam side down, in the oil.
• Fry until browned on one side. This will not take long. Turn and brown on other side.
• Prepare the remaining tortillas as you did before and place them to the oil. You should have NO MORE than 3 frying at one time.
• When you remove them from the oil, place on a thick layer of paper towels to dry.

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Dice pork and beef into bite sized chunks.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and cook beef and pork until meat is no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
• In the same large skillet, add ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno. Cook until ground beef is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Add garlic, seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Drain and set side.
• In a large Dutch oven, place all cooked meat into pan and add beef broth. Let broth come to a boil, stirring frequently, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until broth has been absorbed.
• Add drained and rinsed pinto and black beans into Dutch oven. Add refried beans, Rotel, and diced green chilies. Stir until well combined and continue cooking over low heat until heated through, stirring frequently.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels, set aside.
• Preheat a non stick pan over medium heat. Place tortilla in pan for approximately 20-30 seconds, turn tortilla over and repeat until tortilla is heated thoroughly.
• Place a couple heaping tablespoons of meat mixture into the middle of the tortilla, top with cheese, and fold into a burrito.
• Heat oil in a large skillet, or frying pan, over medium high heat.
• Carefully place 2-3 burritos at a time into hot oil and fry until golden brown, turn over and fry the other side until golden brown.
• Continue frying until all burritos have been cooked.
• Place cooked burritos on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
• Serve hot, with your favorite toppings: sour cream, sliced green onions, cilantro, salsa.
• For any leftover burritos, wrap individually in foil, place in freezer storage bags and place in the fridge if eating within a few days or place in the freezer for up to 3 months.

REFRIED BEAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place beans in microwave safe dish.
• Stir in next 5 ingredients.
• Heat on medium power for about 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once halfway through.
• Alternatively, heat over low heat on stovetop until warmed through.
• If mixture becomes too thick, add water.
• Mix in rice, if using.
• Meanwhile, heat the tortillas.
• Use the method you like best.
• I usually just heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20-30 secs per side, or just until pliable.
• Place about 1/3 cup bean mixture in each tortilla, add cheese, salsa and toppings, and roll.
• You can bake them in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes if you want them firmer/crisper.
• I like to skip this step.
• That's it!
• These refrigerate well for a few days.
• I can't speak for the freezer.
• I end up with 5 medium sized burritos; if you use the rice or more veggies, you will get more.
• Since I usually reheat one or two at a time, I add sour cream after reheating.
• No one would call these authentic Mexican food; they taste more like a fresher and better version of Taco Bell, but they are very good.

EASY FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Brown hamburger with onions and drain. Add green chiles, taco seasoning, and ketchup; simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from stove and let cool a little before spooning on tortillas.
• 2. Cut velveta into slices. Put a large spoonful of meat in the middle of tortilla and top with half a slice of Velveta. Roll tortillas and fry in electric skillet with 1/2" oil until golden brown.
• 3. As the burrito's come out of the skillet drain on cookie sheet covered with paper towels to soak up any extra oil. Put a layer of paper towels between layers of burritos. Bake in oven at 200' to keep warm until served.

FRIED BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Step 1: Brown ground beef along with; onion, garlic, salt, pepper and chili powder on medium-high heat. Drain and return back to the pot.
• 2. Step 2: Over medium-high heat add the beans along with the liquid from the beans to the meat mixture. Once the mixture starts to bubble turn off the burner and smash still leaving some beans whole.
• 3. Step 3: Place 1-2 Tbsp. shredded cheese in a line along the center of the tortilla (not too close to the edges or the cheese will fall out while frying). Then add about 1/2 cup of meat mixture and roll into a burrito leaving one end open then lightly flatten the burrito (remember not to much pressure because then you will start to loose mixture from the opened end)to prevent rolling around while browning. Repeat until you have all the burritos prepared.
• 4. HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A FEW CHANGES! I MYSELF PREFER THIS METHOD: Step 4: Heat 2-3 Tbsp. veg. oil in a large skillet/frying pan on med-high heat. When the oil is hot lay enough burritos to cover the bottom of the pan. Once golden brown (2-3 min.) turn over and brown the other side.
