Indulge in the rich flavors of a classic Burrito di Carne e Formaggio tonight – it's a comforting meal that brings the essence of Mexico right to your table.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned thoroughly.
Stir in the cumin, salt, and black pepper while breaking the meat apart with a spoon. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well mixed with the beef.
In a separate pot, warm the refried beans over low heat.
To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/4 cup of refried beans in the center, followed by a generous scoop of the beef mixture, and top with around 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it from the bottom up tightly to secure the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
In the same skillet, place the burritos seam side down and cook over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve the burritos with toppings: a dollop of sour cream, chopped lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced jalapeno.
