Ingredients

1 ¼ pound Ground beef lean
½ large sweet onion diced
3-4 cloves garlic diced
2 tablespoons Taco seasoning homemade is best
¾ cup Water
3 cups refried beans
6 Flour Tortillas 8 inch
4 ½ cups Muenster cheese grated
3 cups Red enchilada sauce
For garnish, Cotija cheese (Mexican crumbling cheese), chopped raw onion, sliced jalapeno optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add ground beef. Breaking the beef up with a spoon. Just as the pink is starting to fade from the beef, add chopped onion. Cook stirring frequently for two minutes. Add chopped garlic and cook until fragrant. About 30 seconds.
Add the homemade taco seasoning and water. Cook on medium heat until mixture has thickened and water has absorbed. About 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, empty refried beans into a bowl, with a large spoon, slightly flatten out the beans so they'll heat more evenly. Warm them so the beans will spread better on the tortillas. You can warm them on a plate for about a minute in the microwave, or I like to use a comal stovetop on low heat.
Ladle 1 ½ cup of the homemade enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
Lay a flour tortilla on a plate. With a spoon spread ½ cup of refried beans on the tortilla. Top with ½ cup of the ground beef mixture. Top with ½ cup of of grated Muenster cheese.
Roll up and place seam side down in the enchilada sauce in the casserole dish. Repeat until burritos are filled.This makes 6 big fat cheesy enchilada burritos.
Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce over the burritos and sprinkle with additional cheese.
Bake 350 degrees or until all is bubbly and heated through.

Notes

You can use any type of good quality melting cheese for these burritos. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack or Fiesta Jack.

Using a lean ground beef will remove the need to grain any grease.
