Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup water
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1 can refried beans
• 1.5 cups red enchilada sauce
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

Warm up the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. This will make them easier to roll.

Step 6

Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of refried beans down the center of each tortilla. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture over the beans and roll up the tortillas tightly to form burritos.

Step 7

Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the burritos, making sure they’re fully covered.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sauce-covered burritos.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish the Tacoritos with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side. Enjoy!
