Ingredients

  1. 6 ounces sliced jalapeno peppers
  2. 1 tomato, diced
  3. 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
  4. 1 green bell pepper, diced
  5. 1 red bell pepper, diced
  6. 1 onion, diced
  7. 1 ½ tablespoons hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix jalapeno peppers, tomato, green chile peppers, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl.
  2. Cook beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to break up clumps, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add jalapeno pepper mixture and burrito seasoning; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  3. Pour refried beans into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Warm each tortilla in the microwave until soft, 15 to 20 seconds. Spread a layer of refried beans on top. Divide beef mixture among tortillas. Top with lettuce, sour cream, and Cheddar cheese. Fold in opposing edges of each tortilla and roll up into a burrito.

My husband wanted burritos for dinner and after working 2 jobs I didn’t want to go to the store also. I had most of the ingredients so it’s not spot on but he said he may never eat another store bought ever again. he likes the spicy ones and they are hard to find. He said this recipe had more heat and a lot more flavor then the store ones. Thank you for posting this recipe.

I added the refried beans to the beef mixture, kids don’t complain about the fact that there are beans in it and they get their veggies. And I used a can of RoTels diced tomatoes with green chilies. Hatch green or red chilie is also good with this.

Made several dishes like this one before BUT by far, this was the best! My husband said same thing she he’s quite an expert with this kind of cuisine. A keeper, for sure

It was the first time that I had included sour cream in a burrito, and it was so good! My boyfriend said the best burritos ever! Too bad I didn’t have jalapenos, but I included corn and it was a good decision 🙂 Thanks for the recipe
Michael Brown
Wonderful. Made exactly as written but didn’t add lettuce. Added some more hot sauce and some Rus el Hanut. Will defiantly make it again
Justin Simmons
YUMMOLA ! Made exactly as written but didn’t add lettuce, added a little extra cheese too (taco cheese) then baked 15 minutes at 350. Put guacamole, lettuce, tomato and mixed some sour cream (mixed with taco seasoning) on table. Again YUMMOLA ! Gotta make for a party except afraid guests will not want to leave after this. LOL

Perfect and perfectly easy to prepare. We made it with slight variations each time, substituting spinach, red bell pepper, red salsa, more cheese, etc. Amazing for leftovers, too.
Kevin Fisher
Very good. Did not add beans as I don’t like them. Used 2 jalapenos.. just had with wrap and no cheese, lettuce, sour cream, will make again as good change from tacos
Ashley Gray
This was a wonderful recipe, which is going into my favorites. I did add a small can of chopped tomatoes with chili peppers, and did not include the refried beans.
John May
Very tasty as prepared (I stuck to this recipe). I was worried about the amount of Jalapeno, but it cooked down perfectly with a great spicy kick, but not overly so. Easy to make as well. I couldn’t find a burrito spice packet, but used mild taco seasoning instead. VERY TASTY!!
John Miller
cook this dish with the beef enchiladas with spicy red sauce, make up a batch of Spanish rice and the crowd will go wild!
Jacob Jones
My boyfriend like very spicy Mexican food and he was very happy with this recipe. I will be making it a part of our regular menu!

Wonderful. Didn’t have burrito seasoning. Easy to do with what I had.
Jessica Mclean
omitted Jalapenos. used Lea Perrins Tobasco for the Hot sauce. Used MCormick Burrito mix. Turned out excellent.

I made these last week and they were definitely a hit in my home. I have already been asked to make more. I haven’t I would like my grown kids to learn how to make their own ha ha ha. What would I change? Nothing the heat was perfect to my liking and the texture was great. Very Good!
Russell Lawson
I also added cheese inside burrito and baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. After tasting just the meat mixture, I thought these would be way to hot for us. One all assembled with added cheese and sour cream on top, they were perfect. Delicious flavor.
Caleb Hogan
Made it as written. Fantastic. Kids Cleared there plates and thumbs up all around.Simple and easy to make. Thanks
Roberto Parker
This was very good and super simple. I used some homemade taco seasoning since that’s what I had on hand. Otherwise, followed the directions as written. I also added a cubanelle to the peppers, because I had some. Everyone enjoyed the burritos! Thanks!
Mrs. Amanda Spencer
This is delicious! I used two 10 oz. cans of Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies) instead of 1 tomato and 2 lbs of ground beef. The rest of the ingredients I did not change. It was just right for my families tastes. This is a keeper!
Nicole Vasquez
So awesome, my whole family loved these (even my little guy who does not care for beans at all). The only change that I made was to omit the cayenne to take down the heat, and omit the green pepper because they’re my least favourite food.
April Gould
My family went crazy over these burritos! I would not change anything. I made the recipe exact as called for. Perfect for our Cinco de Mayo party with All Recipes Mexican Rice ll recipe and Chicken Quesadilla recipe. Totally YUMMY dinner!
