Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion chopped

  • Cook until no longer pink (approx 7-10 mins).
  • Take off heat and drain.
  • Stir in refried beans, salsa and cheese after cool for a minute.

  • Spoon about 1/4 c. of beef mix into the center of the tortilla.
  • Fold sides over tortilla, like a burrito.
  • Place on baking sheet, seam side down.
