Let the meat mixture simmer until it starts to thicken up. While your meat is cooking you can prepare your toppings for your burritos.

Bush's Semi Homemade Re fried Beans:

2 - 16 oz cans Bush's pinto beans
(reserve liquid from one can)
3 tablespoons bacon drippings (or vegetable oil)
1- clove of garlic, minced

In a large skillet, heat bacon drippings over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for a minute or two. Add both cans of beans but only one of the cans of liquid. Drain and discard the liquid in the second can. Start smashing the beans with a potato masher. I used my Cuisinart Blending Blade attachment. Keep stirring and mashing until you get the texture that you want. Continue to cook stirring frequently, until the beans are the consistency of soft mashed potatoes. Taste and season with salt if needed. When heated through serve.
