Moist Burritos Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4.5 oz diced green chilies
• 16 oz refried beans
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 10 oz enchilada sauce
• 15 oz chili without beans (such as Hormel)
• 6 large flour tortillas (approximately 12 inches)
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• Chopped green onions (for garnish)
• Additional toppings of your choice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.
2. Cook the beef and onions: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and sauté the onions until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are soft. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Season and mix: Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then season the beef mixture with minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in the diced green chilies and refried beans until the ingredients are fully combined. Turn off the heat but keep the mixture warm.
4. Prepare the sauces: In a separate skillet, combine the tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, and beanless chili. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
5. Assemble the burritos: Place a generous portion of the beef and bean mixture into each flour tortilla. Roll them tightly and place them seam-side down in a large baking dish.
6. Add the sauce and bake: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the burritos, ensuring they are fully covered. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese on top.
7. Bake the burritos: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the burritos from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, chopped green onions, and any additional toppings of your choice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Optional Toppings:
