Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 3 T taco seasoning spices
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 8-10 ea flour tortillas (corn if preferred)
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 8 oz shredded cheese, Mexican blend of your choice
  • 16 oz Hatch 505 or your favorite green chile sauce
  • 1-2 tomatoes
  • 1/2 c shredded lettuce
  • salsa
  • sour cream

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized pot or frying pan, heat a swirl of your choice of oil and add diced onion, ground beef, and Italian sausage. Break up the pieces and cook on medium/high heat, stirring frequently. Drain off excess fat and return to burner on low, adding in seasonings and sour cream. Remove from heat.
  • Spray a 9x13 pan or two smaller pans with non-stick spray.
  • Take each tortilla and spread on 2-3 tablespoons of refried beans. Just eyeball it, keep it simple. Add a generous scoop (1/3 cup) of meat mixture, fold in two sides, and place burrito into pan, seam side down. Continue until tortillas are used up; if you have additional fillings, go ahead and spread them across the top.
  • Pour green chile sauce over the filled tortillas, spreading it over all of the center and into the edges. Top with cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let set 10 minutes, top with tomatoes, lettuce, salsa, and more cheese, if desired.
