"For a change from sandwiches, we like burritos-something many people don't consider in a brown-bag lunch," says Rhonda Cliett of Barton, Texas. "They're good cold or easy to heat if a microwave's available."

Brown-Bag Burritos Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling

Yield: 15-20 Servings

10 20 30

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
2/3 cup enchilada sauce
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
4-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
15 to 20 flour tortillas (8 inches)
1-1/2 to 2-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the next eight ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a microwave, heat tortillas in batches until warm, about 45 seconds. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of beef mixture off center on each tortilla. Sprinkle each with 2 to 3 tablespoons cheese and roll up.
Wrap each burrito in paper towel, then in foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Refrigerate. Eat burritos cold, or remove foil and heat paper towel-wrapped burrito in a microwave on high for 30-60 seconds. Yield: 15-20 servings.

have made it a few times now... Love it.. I have given this recipe to everyone that has tried them... Really make these , they are just so good..

awesome!!! The filling takes great as a dip w/ tortilla chips. It is also perfect if you replace all of the beef w/ additional refried beans - vegetarian burritos. Yummy

This was such a simple and healthy recipe I used ground turkey, and doubled the recipe.I made it for a church potluck. Everyone loved them and I took home the extras and froze them.
