20 minTwenty minutes. That is all that stands between you and a stack of warm, loaded burritos.
Ground beef gets seasoned with chili powder and cumin, then stirred together with spinach, chunky salsa, and a generous handful of shredded cheddar that melts right into the filling.
Scoop it onto warm flour tortillas, fold them up, and dinner is done before anyone has time to complain about being hungry.
The spinach sneaks in some green without anybody noticing, making these a solid option for feeding picky eaters who claim they do not like vegetables.
Kitchen Tips
- Squeeze all the water out of the thawed spinach before adding it. Wrap it in a clean towel and wring it dry. Soggy spinach makes soggy burritos.
- Warm your tortillas before filling them. A dry skillet for 20 seconds per side keeps them pliable and prevents cracking when you fold.
- For a crispier burrito, place the folded burritos seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet and toast for a minute on each side.
