Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
• 2 cups white rice, cooked
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 28 oz (2 cans) enchilada sauce
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups chopped lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and taco seasoning, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the refried beans to the skillet and mix well. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Add 1/3 cup of the cooked white rice and 1/2 cup of the beef and bean mixture to the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 7

Lightly grease a large baking dish and place the rolled burritos seam-side down in the dish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top of the burritos.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let the burritos cool for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Serve the wet burritos with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro as toppings. Enjoy!
