2cups Grated Sharp Cheddar - divided Measured after shredding
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray.
Brown beef in skillet over medium high heat until cooked through. Remove excess fat by moving beef to one side and tilting skillet up to drain; spoon fat into container.
Add drained black beans to other side of skillet. Using a potato masher or fork, mash beans to desired consistency. (I mash them up thoroughly, but leaving some pieces works too.)
Stir beef and beans together. Add salsa, and about 1/4 cup of the reserved bean liquid to reach desired consistency. The mixture should be very moist. Mix in 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
Lay a burrito on a flat surface and put about 1/4 cup of mixture down the center. Roll up burrito and place, rolled edge down, in prepared casserole dish. Continue until all the beef is used.
Sprinkle remaining cheese over burritos (if you have any leftover meat, sprinkle that on top of the burritos as well.) Place in oven, and cook until the cheese is melted and the burritos are browned. Serve with more salsa and sour cream if desired.
