• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
• 10 flour tortillas
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and garlic. Drain and discard grease. Add refried beans and burrito seasoning packet. Add green chiles and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes more.

Step 2

Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and cook in a microwave oven until warmed through, about 10 seconds.

Step 3

Spoon about 2 tablespoons beef mixture into a warm tortilla. Add a tablespoon or more of Cheddar cheese. Fold both sides in, then fold and roll over mixture to seal burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas, filling, and cheese.

Step 4

Wrap burritos in waxed paper or place in plastic bags and store in the freezer for use in lunch boxes.
