Questions about Beef and bean burrito
How do you stop a beef and bean burrito from going soggy?
Drain the beans well and cook the beef filling until excess liquid has evaporated. Let it cool slightly, then put rice or cheese between the filling and the tortilla; keep salsa, lettuce and sour cream separate until serving.
How do you make beef and bean burrito filling?
Brown minced beef in a hot pan, breaking it up, then stir in drained beans, cumin, chilli powder and a splash of water or stock. Simmer for about 5–10 minutes, until thick and piping hot, before spooning it into tortillas.
How do you fold a beef and bean burrito so the filling stays inside?
Warm the tortilla briefly so it bends without cracking. Put the filling in a strip below the centre, fold in both sides, bring the bottom edge over the filling, then roll it firmly away from you.
Can you freeze beef and bean burritos?
Yes. Cool them completely, wrap individually and freeze; for best texture, leave out lettuce, sour cream and fresh salsa. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then reheat in a covered pan or microwave until piping hot throughout.
What goes well with a beef and bean burrito?
Serve it with salsa, guacamole or lime wedges, and a crisp salad or grilled sweetcorn. For a fuller meal, add Mexican-style rice; keep wet toppings on the side if you want the tortilla to stay firm.
How do you reheat a beef and bean burrito?
For a soft tortilla, microwave it covered with a damp paper towel, turning it halfway through, until piping hot in the centre. To crisp the outside, finish it in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat, turning often.
How does a beef and bean burrito differ from a bean and cheese burrito?
A beef and bean burrito includes beef as well as beans, while a bean and cheese burrito relies on beans and cheese for its filling. The bean and cheese version has 261 kcal and 10.4 g fibre per 100 g; this burrito has 298 kcal and 6.9 g fibre.
