Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80-90%)
- 2/3 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
- 1 yellow onion (diced)
- 3 jalapeños (diced and de-seeded)
- 3–4 cups red enchilada sauce
- 1 can refried beans (16 oz)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 6 large tortillas
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Rinse rice under cold water until clear, then combine with 1 1/3 cups water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with diced onion and jalapeños until the beef is browned and vegetables are soft; drain excess fat. Stir in ½ cup of enchilada sauce.
4. Spread some enchilada sauce in a baking dish. Fill each tortilla with refried beans, cheese, cooked rice, and beef mixture; roll tightly and place seam side down.
5. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over burritos and sprinkle with cheese.
6. Bake for about 15 minutes until cheese is melted.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or drizzle with sour cream before serving. You can substitute ground turkey or shredded chicken for a lighter variation. To make it spicier, include a few dashes of hot sauce in the filling.
