A delightful twist on the classic burrito, these enchilada-style burritos are filled with flavorful ingredients and baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the refried beans and taco sauce until smooth.
Mixing the beans with the sauce makes them easier to spread and adds flavor.
Lay out the tortillas and spread a portion of the bean mixture onto each one.
Warming the tortillas slightly makes them more pliable and easier to roll.
Add shredded chicken to each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a baking dish.
Placing them seam-side down prevents them from unrolling during baking.
Pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas, covering them completely.
Covering the tortillas with sauce keeps them moist and flavorful.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
For a golden crust, you can broil the dish for the last few minutes of baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check occasionally to ensure the cheese doesn't overcook.
Serve the burritos hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream.
Add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or diced green onions for extra flavor.
