# Instructions:
01 -
Using medium heat, cook the ground beef in a skillet until it's no longer pink. Once cooked, drain any extra grease with a strainer.
02 -
Put the drained meat back in the skillet. Sprinkle in the spices, then add water. Stir everything together and let it simmer until the water is gone.
03 -
Pour vegetable oil into another pan and place it over medium heat. As it heats, you can start putting together the burritos.
04 -
Spread about a spoonful of refried beans near one edge of the tortilla. Add a scoop or two of the seasoned beef and a good handful of cheese over the top.
05 -
Fold the tortilla tightly around the fillings. Once you're halfway through rolling, tuck the sides inward, then roll all the way until it's sealed.
06 -
Keep rolling the burritos until you've used all the filling or tortillas.
07 -
Carefully place tortillas seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry them for about one or two minutes per side until they're crispy and golden, including the edges.
08 -
Remove the fried burritos and set them to drain on paper towels or a baking sheet. Add your favorite toppings before serving. Enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
You can prep and freeze these for later.
02 -
Rolling them tightly prevents any messy leaks.
03 -
Always fry seam-side down first to seal it shut.
