Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lb. ground beef or chuck
  • 1 cup salsa (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Recipe #593 Cheese Sauce
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 (15.5 oz.) cans red kidney beans (or pintos)
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Burrito-size flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray or oil
  • Toppings: Shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream, and extra shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep the Beef: Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain the grease. Stir in 1 cup of salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Sauté Veggies: In a separate pan, sauté the sliced onion and bell pepper in olive oil until soft.
  3. Prepare Beans: Heat the kidney beans in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Mash them and stir in the onion powder and garlic powder.
  4. Make Sauce: Prepare your Recipe #593 Cheese Sauce (as seen in the video).
  5. Assemble: Lightly oil or spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Lay out each tortilla and fill with a portion of the beef, mashed beans, and sautéed vegetables.
  6. Roll: Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared dish.
  7. Top & Bake: Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle with a little extra salsa and shredded cheese. Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes or until bubbly.
  8. Serve: Garnish with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream before serving.

Notes

  • Bean Swap: If you aren't a fan of kidney beans, pinto beans work just as well for the mash!
  • Homemade Touch: The homemade cheese sauce is what really makes this dish "Supreme",it's worth the extra few minutes of effort.
  • Make Ahead: You can assemble the burritos in the dish earlier in the day, then just add the sauce and bake when you're ready for dinner!
