Salsa & Cheese Burritos: Quick Weeknight Meal

Let me fill you in on a little “weeknight meal,” secret that I have.

I’ll never forget the day my mom made these for the first time, when I was a kid.  I ran to the stove, {super hungry, dying to know what we were having for dinner.}  I looked in the pan, looked up at her, and kinda “snarled” my nose and asked what it was.  She said,

Oh Jess, this is a new recipe I’m trying.  I think it will taste better than it looks.

My mom never lied to me, so I knew I should give it a try.  I’m SOOOO glad I did.  I make this quite often, now that I have a family of my own.  This is a great recipe for a quick, week night meal, when you don’t have anything planned on the menu.

4 Ingredients are all you need: {Plus any toppings you may want}

Salsa & Cheese Burritos

Full Recipe Card & Instructions, below.

Grab your beef, cheddar cheese soup, & salsa…

1.  Brown your ground beef.

2.  When beef is fully cooked, drain the grease if needed.  Return beef to pan, and add your cheddar cheese soup and stir until well blended.

3.  Next, add in your 1/2 cup of salsa.  Stir until blended.

Yes… this is when you look at it and you may say:

Umm… this is going to taste good?

4.  Let the burrito mixture simmer for a couple of minutes to let the cheese and salsa cook in to the beef, and become evenly warm.

5.  Spoon down the center of a warmed tortilla, and load that baby up with your desired toppings, and you’re golden.

This literally takes me 10 minutes to make.  A 10-Minute meal, is A-OK in my book.  Right?
