In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until completely browned.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the beef, stirring well to combine. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly.
In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. This should take about 5 minutes.
Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce over the center of the tortilla.
Spread 1/4 cup of the warm refried beans over the nacho cheese, ensuring you keep the layers intact.
Add about 1/4 of the cooked ground beef over the beans.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of the beef, approximately 2 tablespoons, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, and then roll it up from the bottom to create a burrito. Ensure the filling stays intact within the layers.
Repeat the layering and rolling process with the remaining three tortillas.
Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito in the skillet seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned and warmed through.
Serve the burritos immediately. Enjoy your beefy five layer burrito with your favorite hot sauce or additional toppings, if desired.
