Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 can refried beans
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 pieces flour tortillas (large)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Step 4

Add the refried beans to the skillet and mix well with the beef mixture. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 6

Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Add about 1/3 cup of the beef and bean mixture to the center of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Place the burrito seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 8

Lightly brush the tops of the burritos with melted butter to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the burritos are golden brown and heated through.

Step 10

Let the burritos cool for a few minutes before serving. Wrap leftovers in foil or parchment paper for easy reheating or freezing.
