Burrito Bake

This is a staple in our house, I make it at least once a week. It is everything we love - Chorizo, Re fried beans, and Tortillas. It doesn't really matter what else you add to it and I don't believe I have made it the same way twice. Just go with what you have in your pantry.

~Burrito Bake~

Ingredients:

8 oz Chorizo
16 oz can Re fried Beans

3/4 cup water

1 Tbsp ground Cumin

Medium Onion (diced)

4 oz Pepper Jack Cheese (shredded)

4 Burrito size soft tortillas

cooking spray
6 oz Taco or Enchilada Sauce
Fresh Cilantro (optional)
Jalapenos (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven 390 degrees
Crumble chorizo in skillet until cooked completely. Add can of re fried beans and water, cook together until well blended. Set aside to cool.

Spray medium casserole dish with cooking spray. Separate tortillas on counter giving enough room for each to be filled. Sprinkle cheese in the middle of each tortilla, top each with diced onions, cilantro and jalapenos.

Spoon chorizo and bean mixture on top of onions and cheese making sure not to overfill the tortilla. (it is OK to have some mixture left over)
Wrap each tortilla by tucking the sides and roll up like a burrito. Place in casserole dish with the seam side down. Place them side by side and they should be touching. Spoon any additional bean mixture on the top of the burritos. Pour taco sauce over burritos and place in oven for 15-20 minutes.

Garnish with sliced black olives, cilantro or sour cream.
