Method

7 steps Oven 400°F 15 min prep · 25 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set out a baking dish large enough to hold the burritos in one layer.

Cook

Step 2. Heat Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 3. Add Ground Beef, Cumin, Garlic Powder, and Salt. Break up the beef and cook until browned with no pink remaining, about 7 minutes; drain excess fat.
Step 4. Stir in Refried Beans and cook over medium heat until hot and spreadable, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 5. Spread a little of the Enchilada Sauce in the baking dish. Warm Tortilla until pliable, then divide the filling among them. Fold in the sides, roll up, and arrange seam-side down.
Step 6. Spoon the rest of the Enchilada Sauce over the burritos and scatter Monterey Jack Cheese on top. Bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Let the burritos stand briefly, then serve one per person.
