Instructions
First, prepare the ground beef by cooking it in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through, more pink. Drain the fat and return to the stove over low heat.
Then, add the rest of the ingredients, tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir to combine. Cook over low heat for another 2-3 minutes then remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the chili sauce by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until melted. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add seasonings and toss to combine.
Slowly pour in the broth while stirring. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 ° F.
Assemble the burritos by layering about 1/4 cup of refried beans slightly off-center in the tortilla.
Leave at least a 1-inch border at the edge of the tortilla. Top with about 1/4 cup cooked ground beef.
Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Roll up the tortilla and fold the edges to form a burrito. Place in a large baking dish.
Continue until all the burritos are formed.
Pour the chili sauce on top. Sprinkle with additional cheese.
Bake uncovered for about 15 to 20 minutes until all the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, serve, add additional toppings if desired and enjoy! Happy Cooking Time.
