This is a recipe that I learned from my mother. It is more of a "fresh" burrito and has been one of my and my brother's favorites. It's definately a classic in my family.

    When meat and beans are done and all other ingredients are chopped and ready, place one burrito shell on a plate and put in the microwave oven for 20 seconds. When adding ingredients to the burrito shell, just choose as much as you would like. Do not add total amounts of ingredients to one burrito shell as this is for multiple burritos.

    Remove burrito shell from microwave and place a line of the refried beans in the middle of the shell.
  • 10
    Add some shredded cheese to the line of beans. Then place beef mixture on top of the cheese. Next, add some of the mayo sauce on the line of bean and beef mixture. Next, add lettuce and tomatoes to taste. Fold the burrito over and roll it to form the burrito. Repeat until all beef and beans are gone. Makes about 6-8 burritos.
