  • Peel the onion, wash it, and slice it thinly.
  • Wash the pepper, remove the core and chop it.
  • Fry the minced meat with onion in oil until half cooked.
  • Add the chopped pepper to the minced meat and mix the ingredients.
  • Then add the beans and corn, and stir the burrito filling again.
  • Add salt to the mixture of ingredients, add the desired spices and tomato paste. Mix again.
  • Cook for about 10 more minutes, stirring the ingredients periodically. Then, let the minced meat cool and divide it into three parts.
  • Spread the cheese over half of the tortilla. Then add 1/3 of the filling, distributing it evenly over the cheese.
  • Top with a thin layer of grated cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla in half and fry it in a dry pan. The cheese will melt on both sides and hold the filling inside the tortilla.
  • Prepare the other two burritos in the same way as the first. Then let them cool and cut each one in half. Garnish with fresh herbs or green onions. Enjoy!
