Chili Cheese Burrito (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 3 cups of cheddar, shredded.
02 - 10 soft 10-inch flour tortillas.
03 - 1 medium onion, chopped into small pieces.
04 - A pound of ground beef.
05 - 1 teaspoon of cayenne spice.
06 - 3 tablespoons of chili powder.
07 - One teaspoon of salt.
08 - 2 cups of plain water.
09 - A 6-ounce can of tomato paste (around 6 tablespoons).
10 - 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
11 - A 16-ounce can of refried beans.
12 - A couple of tablespoons of water (for cornstarch mix).

# Instructions:

01 - In a wide pan on medium heat, cook chopped onion and beef together until the beef is no longer pink.
02 - Once the grease is drained, sprinkle the meat with salt, chili powder, and cayenne. Stir it all together until mixed.
03 - Stir in your beans and tomato paste with the beef mixture. Keep going until it’s smooth and everything’s blended.
04 - Stir the cornstarch with a splash of water until clump-free. Pour this into the skillet and heat until it starts to thicken.
05 - Melt the shredded cheddar into the beef mixture. Stir occasionally and keep it on the heat for another 10 minutes.
06 - To soften the tortillas, either dampen them slightly and warm them in a pan or pop them in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
07 - Spread cheese on a tortilla, add a few spoons of the thickened filling, fold the edges, and roll it up neatly.
08 - Keep rolling the other tortillas until you're out of filling. Add sour cream or salsa on the side when serving, if you’d like.

# Notes:

01 - Switch up the toppings! Try avocado slices or jalapeños for extra flavor.
02 - Change the heat level by tweaking the amount of cayenne and chili powder.
