New Recipe: Smothered Burritos

Happy Tasty Tuesday

I'm sure I'm not the only one vowing to eat better in 2015, but I'm also a firm believer that we all need a cheat day or we are doomed to fail. This burrito recipe is super easy to make, prep-time is about 30 minutes (including the time it takes for the ground beef to cook up) and it had so much flavor when it was served. They're definitely big enough that you don't need to serve anything with it, and feel free to substitute any veggies or toppings you would rather have, this is definitely a customizable recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 can of enchilada sauce
• 2 small cans of green chilies
• 1 can of refried beans
• 1 package of wheat wraps
• 1 small white onion, diced
• 1 small can of black olives
• 1/2 cup chopped jalapeños
• 1/2 package of shredded Mexican blend cheese

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large pan cook ground beef and onions until ground beef is browned. Drain and remove the excess liquid from cooked ground beef.
• Add 1/2 can of enchilada sauce, green chilies, black olives, jalapeños and about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to ground beef mixture. Stir till combined.
• Open package of wheat wraps and spread refried beans over them (as if you're applying peanut butter to bread), add as much beans as you prefer.
• Once all the wheat wraps have bean spread on them, scoop meat mixture into wraps to your preference and roll them up. I personally filled them as much as a could before wrapping them so they were thicker.
•  Place rolled burritos into a pan (I used these disposable aluminum tins). Top with remaining enchilada sauce and top with shredded cheese.
• Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Enjoy!

What is your "cheat day" go-to meal?
