Mini Burritos

These were such a fun appetizer. I loved them! We took them to a party and they disappeared in minutes. I also think that I will be making them frequently for kids lunches/dinners. They are the perfect size for little hands. Plus, I almost always have these ingredients on hand.
Mini Burritos = Success!

Ingredients:
1 1b ground beef
½ small onion, diced finely
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix (Chili Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Salt, Cumin, Paprika)
3 tablespoons water
1 (15 oz) can refried beans
3/4 cup cooked rice (optional)
3/4 cup salsa
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 package flour tortillas for burritos (10 tortillas; 8 inch)
butter for basting
Toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, brown the beef and onion until beef is no longer pink.
Add the taco seasoning and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the refried beans, rice, salsa, and cheese.
Quarter each flour tortilla with a pizza slicer making 4 wedges from each tortilla. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture onto the wide part of each tortilla. Fold the sides in and roll up towards the small end creating a mini burrito. Place burritos on a cookie sheet. If preparing ahead of time cover and refrigerate until serving.
Brush burritos with melted butter if desired. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until burritos are warm.
Add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
