# How to Prepare:
01 -
Set oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure even baking temperature.
02 -
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef and chopped onion until beef is fully cooked and onion is translucent. Drain any excess fat, then stir in minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add diced green chiles and refried beans, mixing until well combined and heated through. Keep warm.
03 -
In a separate saucepan, combine tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, and no-bean chili. Cook over medium heat, stirring until fully blended and heated.
04 -
Divide beef and bean mixture evenly among tortillas. Place a portion in the center of each tortilla, top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and some lettuce. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly to seal.
05 -
Grease two 33 x 23 cm oven-safe dishes. Place filled burritos seam-side down in dishes.
06 -
Pour prepared sauce evenly over burritos, ensuring full coverage. Scatter remaining shredded cheese on top.
07 -
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until burritos are thoroughly heated and cheese is melted.
08 -
Garnish with green onions and your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and chives before serving.
# Extra Tips:
