Mini burritos are the perfect way to spice up your next picnic. They’re easy to transport and can be enjoyed on the go!
– 1 pound ground beef – 2 tbsp oil – 1/2 small onion – 15 oz refried beans – 3.5 oz (1/2 cup) salsa – 6 oz (1 1/2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese – 2 tbsp taco seasoning – 3 tbsp water – 8 flour tortillas for burritos – 2 tbsp melted butter for basting (optional) For dipping: – sour cream (optional) – guacamole (optional) – salsa (optional)
On the cutting board with a sharp knife, chop the onion. In a large skillet with hot oil, cook the onion until tender. Add the ground beef and cook until light browned.
Add the taco seasoning and the water, stirring occasionally. When it’s cooked, remove from heat and stir in the refried beans, salsa, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Take one piece of tortilla and place it on your cutting board. Cut the tortilla in the middle horizontally and vertically, getting 4 same sized pieces from 1 tortilla. Using a spoon, add from the meat mixture in the middle of every piece. Overlap the two corners on the bottom over the filling and roll it to create a mini burrito. Repeat the procedure for all the tortilla slices.
Place the burritos on the prepared baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the burritos with melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven to 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until burritos are warm.
Mini burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make finger food that is perfect for picnics and other outdoor gatherings.
