This is my basic version of the beef burritos made with ragu, but feel free to add anything you’d like–rice, tomatoes, different cheeses etc.
I’m doing a two for one meal tonight in preparation for the coming week as I’d like to get the freezer stacked a little more. I also had a 750-gram portion of mince, so I thought I’d do 500 grams for the burritos and 250 grams for the ragu.
My little man seems to like beef at the moment, so I thought I’d make him a ragu and portion some up to have in the freezer. Unfortunately, he did not have the beef burritos because of all of the spices, but I can tell you that they were lovely and he’ll enjoy eating them when he’s older!
