📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

3. Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.

4. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Mix well and let simmer for 2 minutes.

5. Add the refried beans to the skillet. Stir until the beans are warmed through and combined with the beef mixture. Remove from heat.

6. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the beef and bean mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla.

7. Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito by folding in the sides, then rolling from top to bottom. Place the burritos seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

8. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos, ensuring they are completely covered.

9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sauced burritos.

10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

11. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

12. Remove the dish from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions, sour cream, and chopped cilantro before serving.

13. Serve hot and enjoy your smothered burritos!
