# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Top your burritos with salsa and maybe some sour cream if that’s your thing.
02 -
Put a tortilla on your board. Nuke the tortillas for about 15 seconds if they need to be softer. Sprinkle some cheese in the lower middle, then drop 1/4 to 1/2 cup of filling on top. Fold the sides, roll up nice and tight.
03 -
Take 150 g of cheddar, mix it right into the filling, and let it melt as you stir.
04 -
Stir in the beans and tomato paste until everything comes together.
05 -
Mix the cornstarch with that extra 30 ml of water until smooth. Stir this into the pan. Let it bubble and cook a bit until it gets thicker.
06 -
Sprinkle in chili powder, cayenne, and salt. Mix well, then add 450 ml water. Stir again so it’s all combined.
07 -
Put a big pan over medium. Toss in ground beef and diced onion. Cook while breaking up the meat, until everything is browned. Pour off any fat.
# Extra Information:
01 -
If you briefly microwave the tortillas, rolling them will be way easier.
