I've been making these for years, but like another reviewer, I mix the beans with the meat. I prefer old el paso Burrito Seasoning instead of taco seasoning. Our stores do not stock it anymore, but I get it online at walmart or Amazon. Occasionally, it is stocked in walmart super centers.

I love these, oil and all.

I've made these for years, but I heat the beans in with the meat after the meat is browned. I also use salsa instead of taco seasoning, but either one is good. I add the cheese to the meat/bean mixture and it's the perfect one pan meal.

Broooooooo these things are beast I make them with cilantro and onion and fry them till they're flaky and crispy hmmmmmmm mmmmmm

I too fix these babies and my family loves them. it’s the frying and being crispy that makes them taste so good with side condiments. Yummy!

Tasty easy to prepare and a timesaver

Easy and great recipe! I love recipes that I can follow exactly the first time I make it to give it a fair shot AND play with/add whatever pops in my head for follow-up cooking. If you do choose to add additional ingredients, be careful not to add to much or over stuff. I never thought I would live crunchy tortillas so much. Thanks for the recipe.

why the oil ? a Tortilla will brown great with out any added oil at all . when we make them at home we use our panini press works great.. i have also used a frying pan.. and NO oil of any kind

I make these, using salsa in the burritos, instead of taco seasoning mix. Plate them on a bed of shredded lettuce, for that authentic taqueria look!

Loved these. Did add small amount of Mexican rice. Easy. Made enough (just 2 of us) for 3 days of meals and seemed to better! thank you for sharing this recipe!
