# Ingredients:
01 -
1 pound ground beef
02 -
½ cup yellow onion, diced
03 -
1 ½ cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
04 -
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
10 ounces red enchilada sauce
08 -
15 ounces refried beans
09 -
1 box cheesy Mexican rice
10 -
5 flour tortillas
# Steps:
01 -
Prepare the rice according to the package instructions.
02 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef and onions. Cook until the beef is fully browned with no pink remaining, then carefully drain off any excess grease.
03 -
Season the cooked beef mixture with taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in ¼ cup of enchilada sauce and mix until well combined.
04 -
Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of refried beans across the center, add a layer of rice, then the seasoned beef mixture, and sprinkle a light amount of shredded cheese on top. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly.
05 -
Repeat the assembly process for all tortillas. Place the burritos seam side down in a 9x13 baking dish.
06 -
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos and sprinkle with more shredded cheese.
07 -
Cover the baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 -
Serve the wet burritos with your favorite toppings such as pico de gallo, sour cream, or lettuce.
# Tips:
01 -
For a saucier dish, use two cans of enchilada sauce.
02 -
Old El Paso Cheesy Mexican Rice works well, but any Mexican-flavored or Spanish-style rice can be used.
03 -
Heating refried beans before spreading makes them easier to handle.
