Italian Beef (Combination Burritos)

These combination burritos have both ground beef & refried beans, plus cheese. They're seasoned with chili powder, onion powder & cumin.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tbsp chili powder

• 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 15-oz can refried beans

Method

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble ground beef until meat is no longer pink. Add chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and refried beans. Turn heat to medium-low and cook until beans are warm, about 7-9 minutes. Heat tortillas according to package directions. On each tortilla, put about 1/2 cup of the meat and bean mixture. Top with about 2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese. Fold in bottom and sides of tortillas; roll into a burrito and serve.
