Title: Cincinnati Burritos
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 packet of Cincinnati chili mix
– 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
– 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 6 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– Optional toppings: sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
2. Stir in the Cincinnati chili mix, tomato sauce, kidney beans, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Take a flour tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the Cincinnati chili mixture onto the center. Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili.
5. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to create a burrito. Place the burrito seam side down on a baking sheet.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Once all the burritos are assembled, sprinkle the tops with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
8. Bake the Cincinnati Burritos in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions. Enjoy your Cincinnati Burritos with a side of Spanish rice or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
