Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 16 ounces Refried beans
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Chopped lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes until the beef is evenly coated.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, or heat them in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay a large flour tortilla on a flat surface and spread a layer of warm refried beans down the center.
Top the beans with a portion of the cooked beef mixture.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the ends as you roll. Place the burrito seam-side down in a large baking dish.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, beans, and beef mixture.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the burritos.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish each burrito with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Wet Burrito!
