Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water to the beef. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave until spreadable.
Lay out tortillas and spread a layer of refried beans, followed by rice, seasoned beef, some diced onions (if using), and shredded cheese.
Roll up each burrito and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the burritos and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro before serving.

Notes

Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.
Add jalapeños or hot sauce for an extra kick.
Serve with tortilla chips and guacamole on the side for a full meal.
