# How to Make It:
01 -
Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up until fully cooked. Drain excess fat to avoid sogginess.
02 -
Incorporate chopped onion into the beef mixture and sauté until softened and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
03 -
Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the meat mixture, stirring to coat thoroughly. Add a small amount of water if needed to help the spices dissolve.
04 -
Fold refried beans and cooked rice into the seasoned meat mixture until thick and cohesive.
05 -
Briefly heat tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet until soft and flexible to prevent tearing during rolling.
06 -
Spoon a generous portion of filling into the center of each tortilla. Add a small handful of shredded cheese inside, then fold in sides and roll tightly from bottom to top.
07 -
Lightly grease a 23 x 33 cm (9x13 inch) baking dish and spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.
08 -
Place rolled burritos seam-side down in the prepared dish without overcrowding.
09 -
Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over burritos, ensuring full coverage. Top with remaining shredded cheese and add sliced olives if using.
10 -
Bake uncovered at 190°C for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce bubbles.
11 -
Let the burritos rest for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and facilitate clean slicing.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For easiest rolling, warm tortillas just before assembly to maintain pliability and prevent cracking.
