Directions
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain any excess fat to make sure the burrito filling stays moist without being greasy.
-
Stir in the cooked rice, refried beans, salsa, and half of the shredded cheese. This tremendous mixture should be cooked until heated through. Be sure to mix everything well so that all the flavors blend together beautifully.
-
Warm the tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave. This softens the tortillas, making them pliable for rolling. Soft tortillas are crucial for ensuring your burrito does not fall apart.
-
Spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. The cheese will melt and add a tremendous creaminess that complements the hearty filling.
-
Roll the tortillas tightly to form burritos. Make sure to tuck in the sides while rolling to keep the filling secure. A well-rolled burrito ensures that you get the perfect bite every time.
-
Optional: Place the burritos in an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This step helps to create a fantastic golden crust on the cheese that makes every bite irresistible.

Serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro, if desired. These toppings add a delightful freshness that balances the richness of the burrito.
