Beef and Bean Baked Burritos

Left over Cast Iron Steak and left over Homemade Refried Beans can only mean one thing………..BURRITOS!! Beef and Bean Baked Burritos to be exact!!

I really have no idea how I ended up with an entire extra steak, but I did. I guess I was starving at the grocery store when I bought two huge steaks for just the two of us. They were delicious! Boneless Rib Eyes, seasoned and cooked in cast iron. You couldn’t have asked for a better steak. I knew the leftovers using such a good steak needed to be equally as good. Any ole burrito was not going to suffice, I needed deliciousness wrapped up in a flour tortilla. These burritos lived up to my expectations!

They were filled with Homemade Refried Beans, steak that simmered with onions, garlic, and bell pepper in a mild red taco sauce, and lots of cheddar and jack cheese. Then they were lightly brushed with just a bit of butter, topped with a little more cheese, and baked. We enjoyed these tasty little burritos with some fresh pico de gallo, cilantro, avocado, sour cream, and of course a little more taco sauce. 

It might sound kind of silly, but can’t you just see and imagine all that flavor wrapped up??
