Instructions

- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, mixing well to combine all flavors.
- Add the refried beans to the skillet, stirring until heated through and well combined with the beef mixture.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds or on a griddle until pliable.
- Divide the beef and bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, about 1/4 of the mixture per tortilla.
- Top each burrito with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
- Serve immediately, with extra salsa and sour cream on the side.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the beef mixture or choose a spicy salsa.
- Feel free to customize your burrito by adding other toppings such as avocado, lettuce, or diced tomatoes.
