How much ground beef do you need to make 300 burritos in a 7 inch flour tortilla?

It's impossible to give you an exact amount of ground beef without knowing how much beef you want in each burrito. Here's how to figure it out:

1. Decide on Your Filling Amount:

* Light Filling: If you want a lighter burrito with mostly beans and other fillings, you might use 2-3 ounces of ground beef per burrito.

* Medium Filling: For a more balanced burrito, aim for 3-4 ounces of ground beef per burrito.

* Heavy Filling: If you want your burritos to be mainly ground beef, you'll need around 4-5 ounces per burrito.

2. Calculate Total Ground Beef:

* Multiply the amount of ground beef per burrito by the number of burritos.

Example:

Let's say you want a medium filling with 3.5 ounces of ground beef per burrito:

* 3.5 ounces/burrito * 300 burritos = 1050 ounces of ground beef

3. Convert to Pounds:

* Divide the total ounces by 16 (ounces per pound).

* 1050 ounces / 16 ounces/pound = 65.625 pounds of ground beef

Important Considerations:

* Beef to Tortilla Ratio: Make sure you have enough filling to properly fill the 7-inch tortillas. You might need to adjust the amount of ground beef if you are using a lot of other ingredients.

* Cooking Loss: Ground beef shrinks when cooked. Factor in a bit of extra beef to account for this.

* Waste: Plan for some extra meat in case you have any spills or need to adjust the filling for some burritos.

To be safe, you might want to round your final number up slightly.
