David's Favorite Burritos

These are my husbands favorite burritos and they are quick and easy to prepare so we have them a lot.

2 lbs ground beef
1 can refried beans
Pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef and drain off the grease. Mix in the refried beans and the pepper. I usually use about 3 tablespoons of pepper, but you can use more or less according to your personal preference.

Warm one tortilla shell on a skillet or griddle. Spread grated cheese on the tortilla like you would if you were going to make a quesadilla. Spoon some of your meat/bean mix on top of the cheese in the middle of the tortilla in a line. Top with sour cream, salsa and any other topping you wish (or omit the toppings). When the tortilla starts to bubble, wrap the edges over your toppings. The tortilla will be hot and crispy.

You can store the unused portion of the meat/bean mix in the refridgerator for about a week. You can also use taco seasoning in place of the pepper, or opt for a soft shell by only warming the tortilla on the skillet instead of letting it crisp up.
