Beef Burritos

You can freeze these, I've made double batches and eaten some and frozen some. For quick clean up use the disposable aluminum pans. -Kathy

Beef Burritos
Makes approximately 12 burritos.
2 tbl olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 lbs lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbl chili powder
1ts cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 31 oz can refried beans
12 large flour tortillas
cheddar cheese, grated, as much as you want or none at all.

Saute onion in oil until tender. Add beef and garlic and cook until beef is no longer pink. Drain, Add chili powder, cumin and salt and pepper. Stir in tomato sauce and simmer 5 min. Add refried beans and cook and stir until well blended. Set aside to cool completely.
Preheat oven to 359 deg. Soften tortillas, put some meat mixture on each. The original recipe doesn't call for cheese inside, but I put some cheese on top of the meat mixture before I roll them up. Roll up and arrange in a 9x13 baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam or the like. Spread cheddar cheese on top. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes or until slightly browned.
If you are going to freeze them do so before cooking in the oven. To thaw, let stand in fridge for two days, or if you want quicker you can leave out on the counter.
