Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break it apart and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the canned refried beans over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once hot, mix in ¼ cup of the shredded cheese until creamy, then set aside.
- Pour 10 ounces of enchilada sauce into the cooked ground beef, mixing well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes before removing from heat.
Assembly
- Lay out a tortilla and spread about ¼ cup of refried beans down the center, followed by ¼ cup of the beef mixture.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges as you go, to seal in the filling.
- Place the burrito seam-side down on a plate, pour about 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over it, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of remaining cheese.
- Heat the burrito to melt the cheese, either in the microwave for 20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.
Final Steps
- Repeat the assembly for the remaining burritos and serve hot.
Notes
Customize your filling by adding sautéed peppers, onions, or corn. For variations, try different cheese types or make it vegetarian with black beans.
