A delightful twist on the classic burrito, combining savory beef, creamy beans, and melted cheese for a satisfying meal.
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, then drain any excess fat.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for the best flavor.
Add the tomatoes, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and green chilies to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
Let the mixture simmer to allow the flavors to meld together.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking.
Spread a layer of refried beans onto each tortilla, then add a portion of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese.
Don't overfill the tortillas to make rolling easier.
Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
Arrange the burritos snugly in the dish to prevent them from unrolling.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the burritos and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cover the dish with foil if you prefer softer tortillas.
Serve the burritos topped with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
Add a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh touch.
