Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat, then add the ground beef. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, breaking it up until fully browned.
  2. Once the beef is browned, stir in refried beans and cooked rice. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat until heated through and creamy.
  3. Lay out flour tortillas on a clean surface. Add the beef mixture to the center of each tortilla, making sure not to overfill.
  4. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, placing seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos in the dish, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
