Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease, and add the onion, bell pepper, and corn. Cook for about 5 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in the taco sauce, and season with chili powder, garlic salt and cumin, stirring until blended. Cook until heated through, then remove from heat, and set aside.
  3. Open the can of beans, and spread a thin layer of beans onto each of the tortillas. Spoon the beef mixture down the center, and then top with as much shredded cheese as you like. Roll up the tortillas, and place them seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with melted butter.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Serve with lettuce and tomato.

Yield: 8 servings

This is an awesome recipe, if you like Mexican food! These tasty beef and bean treats are baked instead of fried.

    This recipie is so good. I used black beans instead of refried beans, and added taco seasoning to the meat. This will be a staple in my house!

    This was a big hit at my house. I made this recipe for my mom, dad, brother and boyfriend and they absolutely loved it! I also used taco seasoning on the meat. I will definitely be making this meal again and again.

    The taco sauce is an actually called taco sauce. The brand that I get is Ortega Taco Sauce. It is not a salsa. It comes in mild, medium(hard to find), and hot. This is found in the same spot as mexican things in the grocery store. As far as the recipe IT IS GREAT!!! I love the baking them instead of frying them. They always well most of the time fell apart frying them, this way they don't.

  • Loved it -- but whoa, the calories!

    Even baking it this is still over 800 calories per serving. Delicious but would love to see a slimmed down version.
