Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and a little water (as directed on the seasoning packet). Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the refried beans and cooked rice. Mix well.
Assemble the Burritos:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them more pliable.
- Place a generous amount of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add a handful of shredded cheese on top of the filling.
- Roll up the tortillas by folding in the sides and then rolling them up from the bottom to form burritos.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in a baking dish.
Make the Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine the enchilada sauce, broth, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is well combined and heated through.
Bake the Burritos:
- Pour the sauce evenly over the burritos in the baking dish.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the burritos are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
Serve:
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve the wet burritos hot, topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and additional shredded cheese if desired.
