Step by Step Method

Step 1

In large skillet, brown ground beef over medium to medium-high heat. Drain off fat.

Step 2

Add in all spices. Stir in water, cooking over medium heat until water cooks off. (Water helps ensure even distribution of spices throughout meat).

Step 3

Stir in refried beans and green chilies. Heat through. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Step 4

Burritos: Warm flour tortillas in microwave or in oven. Spread meat and bean mixture on each flour tortilla. Garnish with preferred toppings. Enjoy.

Step 5

Tacos: Toast taco shells in oven according to package directions. (Note: toasting the taco shells is a MUST). Spoon meat and bean mixture into each taco shell. Garnish with preferred toppings.

Step 6

Taco-burgers: Toast hamburger buns in oven until light golden brown. Spread meat and bean mixture onto bottom half of buns. If making taco-burgers, you may want to substitute sliced cheese (such as American). Garnish with preferred toppings.

I made these with the listed ingredients, but went ahead and assembled the burritos. I put a little enchilada sauce in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan and then laid the burritos on. Heated them at 350 and topped with the cheese 5 minutes before taking them out of the oven. I served all the garnishes on the side so each person could dress their burrito as they wanted. Thanks so much for sharing!

Winner, winner weeknight dinner! This was a breeze to put together... and easy to clean up (only used the one pan). It was a just a little spicy from the green chilies and seasoning -- just right for my family. We gobbled this up in tacos and burritos. Will definitely make again!

Yum. I made 2 servings of this and replaced the green chilies with jalapeno. Easy to make and really good. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper, Marra.

Boy were these good...I made just a couple of changes...I cut the recipe down to serve 2 people...and instead of a can of chopped green chilies I used chopped jalapeno (fresh)...and I used the last of a can of black beans that were leftover from another recipe...yummy...made for FYC tag game...

Loved this. Made a couple changes, used fresh jalapenos so didn't use the chilis, and didn't add in the beans to the meat (served them on side because my husband doesn't like them). This was very nice!!
