Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons taco seasoning
¾ cup low-sodium beef broth
1½ cups cooked rice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
6 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1 (16-ounce) can Refried black beans
2 ½ cups Mexican blend cheese
15 ounces red enchilada sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, adding the onion about halfway through the browning process. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic; cook for 1 minute while stirring.
Stir in the the taco seasoning and beef broth. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir the cooked rice with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl.
Add a thin layer of refried beans across the center of the tortilla. Top with a layer of the seasoned beef, rice, and a sprinkle of the cheese. Use half the cheese in the burritos and half over the top of the burritos after the enchilada sauce.
Roll the burrito tightly and place it in a casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Pour the enchilada sauce over the burritos. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burritos are heated through. Top with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro.

Notes

These wet burritos are best consumed promptly, as the tortilla soaks up the sauce and becomes soggy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat in the microwave at 50% power for short increments until warm.
