Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Main protein; can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • 1 can Refried Beans Warm until spreadable; can be swapped with black beans.

  • 4 large Flour Tortillas Whole wheat tortillas are a healthier option.
Sauce

Equipment

  • skillet
  • baking dish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the warm refried beans until well combined and spreadable.
  2. Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon the filling mixture onto each tortilla, fold the sides in, and roll tightly to secure the filling.
  3. Arrange the assembled burritos in a baking dish, seam side down. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top, ensuring they are well covered.
  4. Sprinkle cheese generously over the sauced burritos, allowing it to melt.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the burritos for 20-25 minutes until heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Once out of the oven, let them sit briefly, then top with sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
