Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 15 ounce can Refried beans
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Nacho cheese sauce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until completely browned.

Step 3

Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Step 4

Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the beef, stirring well to combine. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce over the center of the tortilla.

Step 7

Spread 1/4 cup of the warm refried beans over the nacho cheese, ensuring you keep the layers intact.

Step 8

Add about 1/4 of the cooked ground beef over the beans.

Step 9

Add a dollop of sour cream on top of the beef, approximately 2 tablespoons, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream.

Step 11

Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, and then roll it up from the bottom to create a burrito. Ensure the filling stays intact within the layers.

Step 12

Repeat the layering and rolling process with the remaining three tortillas.

Step 13

Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito in the skillet seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned and warmed through.

Step 14

Serve the burritos immediately. Enjoy your beefy five layer burrito with your favorite hot sauce or additional toppings, if desired.
