Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Beans and Sauce

    Lower the heat and stir in the refried beans and taco sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef mixture and stir until melted. Set aside.

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable, about 20-30 seconds.

  2. 7

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a generous amount of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.

  4. 9

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Ensure it's tightly wrapped.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Cut the burrito in half and serve with additional taco sauce if desired.
