Beefy Broccoli & Cheddar Burritos are a Mexican-inspired dish that combines beef, beans, broccoli, cheese, and salsa in a warm tortilla wrap. This recipe takes the classic burrito to the next level by adding broccoli, which provides a pop of green color and a dose of nutrients to the dish. These burritos are sure to satisfy your hunger and your taste buds, making them a great choice for a quick and easy meal.

Instructions

1.	In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain the excess grease.
2.	Add 2 cups of water and kidney beans to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the water has mostly evaporated and the beans are heated through.
3.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
4.	Assemble the burritos. Lay a tortilla flat and spread about a tablespoon of salsa onto the center. Add 1/8th of the beef and bean mixture onto the salsa. Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese and a few slices of green onion. Roll the tortilla up tightly and place seam side down onto a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
5.	Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with additional salsa, if desired.
