This kiddie-size burrito includes seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, topped with red sauce and cheese. Served with Spanish rice and refried beans.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef or shredded chicken, season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes).

Cook the Protein

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft. On each tortilla, layer a portion of the cooked meat, a spoonful of Spanish rice, and refried beans.

Prepare the Burrito

Pour a little red enchilada sauce over the filling and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Add Sauce and Cheese

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to create a burrito.

Wrap the Burrito

Place the burritos seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour any remaining red sauce over the top and sprinkle more cheese if desired.

Finish the Burrito

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
