Ingredients
For the Burritos:
1 pound ground beef (or turkey, chicken, or beans for a vegetarian option)
1 small onion, diced
1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
1 can (15 oz) refried beans
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
Optional: diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or other preferred toppings
For the Sauce:
1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot depending on preference)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning according to package instructions (usually with a little water) and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Burritos:
Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
Spread a layer of refried beans down the center of each tortilla.
Add a portion of the meat mixture, sprinkle with cheese, and any additional toppings you like.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a bowl, combine the enchilada sauce and salsa. Mix well.
Bake the Burritos:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread a small amount of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.
Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the burritos and sprinkle with extra cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, removing the foil in the last 5 minutes to let the cheese get bubbly and slightly golden.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or additional salsa if desired.
