Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 lb ground beef I used 90% lean
- 1 onion diced small, small sweet Vidalia or white
- taco seasoning I used medium heat, reduced sodium
- 7 flour tortilla 10-inch, burrito size, large
- refried beans one 16-ounce can
- rice I used Spanish Rice, one 8.5-ounce package precooked
- 1 ½ cups Mexican shredded cheese blend divided, 1 1/2 cups
- Red Enchilada Sauce I used medium heat, one 15-ounce can
- cilantro optional for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, beef, onion, and cook over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until beef is cooked through and onions are soft and translucent; stir and crumble intermittently to ensure even cooking.
- Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine; set skillet aside off the heat.
- Preheat oven to 350F and drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large oven-proof skillet; set aside.
- Lay the tortillas out on the countertop, evenly smear each with about 2 tablespoons of refried beans down the center, evenly distribute the rice (about 2 to 3 tablespoons) to the center of each tortilla, evenly top with the beef mixture down the center, and evenly distribute 1 1/2 cups of cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll up each burrito and place in the prepared skillet, seam side down. Bake for about 25 minutes.
- Remove skillet from the oven, slowly and evenly drizzle the enchilada sauce over all the burritos, evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese over the top of all the burritos, return skillet to the oven, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese has melted and sauce is lightly bubbling. Optionally garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
