Quick, easy, comforting, inexpensive Beef, Bean and cheese Burritos stuffed with the BEST FILLING you will be eating with a spoon is the answer to your weekday dinner woes!
I thought these Beef, Bean and Cheese Burritos would be fitting for Cinco de Mayo, but sometimes you just need a Beef, Bean and Cheese Burrito every other day of Mayo – and all year round. Or in my case, burritOS. For all those busy nights, lazy nights, don’t want to cook nights, “what should I make for dinner?” nights, need something NOW nights, need something everyone will LOVE nights – Thank you Beef, Bean and Cheese Burritos.
The filling is hearty and packed with flavor from browning your beef with sauted onions and garlic and seasoning with a symphony of fiestalicious spices…
And then stirring in refried beans, salsa (you will looooove my Homemade Salsa) and sour cream for extra creaminess AKA deliciousness. The burrito filling is pure savory comfort food at its most addicting. Even if not the most beautiful…
The burritos themselves are completely customizable with everyone’s favorite filling extras and/or toppings like pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, lettuce, etc. so everyone’s palates and bellies will be singing your praises.
And you will be strongly tempted to make Beef Bean and Cheese Burritos every night. Or at least every other night along with my sensational Mexican Rice.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! and excuse my large, very excited hand 🙂

The ingredients calculator on this recipe does not work when you change it to 6 servings (or more) it zeros out all the ingredients when you change it to ANY number, actually. Just thought I’d let you know.
