Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium White onion, diced
• 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 pieces Flour tortillas (large, burrito-sized)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded cabbage, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the Worcestershire sauce to the mixture and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos by placing a scoop of the beef and cabbage mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and a small dollop of sour cream if desired.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito.

Step 8

Melt the butter in a clean, large skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Serve the Runza Burritos International warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy with additional sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
