Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 ounces) Refried beans
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 6 large Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Mix well and let simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the refried beans to the skillet. Stir until the beans are warmed through and combined with the beef mixture. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the beef and bean mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla.

Step 7

Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito by folding in the sides, then rolling from top to bottom. Place the burritos seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos, ensuring they are completely covered.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sauced burritos.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the dish from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions, sour cream, and chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy your smothered burritos!
