  1 16 ounce can
• 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
• 2 cups water
• 2 pounds lean ground beef

  yellow, or vidalia variety works best

  I prefer trader joes, any brand will work.

  2 ladles works too!

• 5 cups shredded cheese

  cheddar, monterey jack, colby jack, any variety you prefer for your burrito works here as long as it melts well

Instructions

• 1 Melt shortening in large pot (6 quart is what I use). Whisk in flour, let flour
  and shortening get bubbly and start to brown over medium low heat. This will
  take about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef stock, lower heat and whisk until
  smooth. Add in mole, whisk until smooth and allow to cook for 5 minutes on low
  heat.
• 2 Add in chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ad
  pepper, milk and whisk again until smooth. Also be sure to scrape sides and
  bottom of pan with spatula to make sure sauce is completely incorporated and not
  burning or sticking to the sides of pan.
• 3 Whisk in tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Turn burner down to lowest heat
  and allow to cook for 1 hour. Stir occasionally making sure sauce is not burning
  or sticking to bottom of the pot.
• 4 Brown ground beef with onion, making sure to break up as it cooks, meat should
  be a small crumble consistency. When meat is completely cooked add taco
  seasoning, red sauce, and refried beans. Combine well and allow to simmer over
  medium low heat for 10 minutes.
• 5 Remove burrito tortillas from plastic and, heat individually, in microwave for
  10-15 seconds, or in a pan just enough to heat and allow shell to become easier
  to work with.
• 6 Lay tortilla on a flat surface, place a large spoon full of burrito meat in the
  middle of tortilla, spread out slightly. **Feel free to add cheese, onion,
  lettuce, tomato into your burrito. Get creative per your tastes.
• 7 Fold bottom of tortilla up over meat, fold sides in (kind of like a diaper),
  then roll tightly upward so that the seam is on the bottom.
• 8 Place on a baking dish or if making individually place on a plate. Ladle sauce
  over top, sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
• 9 Cover and microwave for 1 minute. OR bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted
  and bubbly about 30 minutes.
