How to Make this Chili Burrito Recipe 2

1. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the olive oil. When it’s hot, add either ground beef or turkey and cook it until it’s browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. If necessary, drain the pan of excess grease.

2. Combine the onion and the minced garlic in the skillet, and cook until the onion is translucent. This should take roughly 3-4 minutes.

3. In a large bowl, combine the kidney beans and black beans, which have been drained and rinsed. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the tomato paste, and mix everything together.

4. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the combination. Decrease the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 10 to 15 minutes so that the flavors meld together.

5. Set the oven to bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

6. Place the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Distribute the chili mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each one.

7. Sprinkle evenly over the chili mixture on each tortilla some shredded cheddar cheese.

8. Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling in the tortillas.

9. Put the seam side down rolled burritos in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the tortillas are warmed through.

10. Accompany the burritos with a generous spoonful of sour cream, and if you wish, sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on them for a pretty presentation. Then, dig in!
