Easy Beef and Bean Burritos recipe by Cherrypick

Whip up these hearty beef burritos for a fuss-free weeknight dinner. Packed with a flavourful meat filling, they’re just as delicious folded into tacos or served over rice as a quick chilli con carne.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pan – a casserole is ideal. Fry the onions for 8 mins, then add the garlic, spices, crumbled stock cube and oregano and cook for 1 min. Crumble over the mince and sizzle for 10 mins, stirring, until browned. Stir in the sugar and leave for a minute, then splash in the vinegar and pour in the tomatoes.

Step 2

Simmer for 5 mins then tip in the beans and their water. Season well with salt and pepper, stir and simmer everything for 20-30 mins until the beef is in a thick gravy. The sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, chilled and reheated with a splash of water or frozen for 6 months.

Step 3

To make the burritos, heat the tortillas following pack instructions. Pile some warmed rice and beef sauce along each tortilla and scatter over your choice of topping. We like sour cream, avocado and pickled red onions. Fold over the ends and roll up to seal. Place into a baking dish, scatter with a little grated cheese and grill until the cheese has melted; alternatively, secure by wrapping with foil. Eat immediately.
