Ingredients
6 ounces sliced jalapeño peppers
1 tomato, diced
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 ½ tablespoons hot sauce
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) package burrito seasoning
1 (14 ounce) can refried beans
6 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1 (10 ounce) bag shredded lettuce
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables and Seasoning: In a large bowl, mix together sliced jalapeños, diced tomato, chopped green chile peppers, diced bell peppers, diced onion, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to break up clumps. Cook for 5 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Combine Beef and Vegetables: Add the jalapeño mixture to the beef and stir in the burrito seasoning. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Heat the Refried Beans: Heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla, then spoon the beef mixture on top. Add shredded lettuce, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.
- Wrap the Burritos: Fold the edges of the tortillas and roll them tightly into burritos.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, creamy, and savory flavors!
Notes
Swap the beef for ground turkey for a lighter version.
Use mild bell peppers instead of jalapeños to reduce heat.
Add more hot sauce or red pepper flakes to increase spiciness.
Try using different cheeses like Monterey Jack for a variation.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with black beans or grilled vegetables.
