Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients into the ground beef.
Step 2
Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a skillet over medium heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula, and break up the meat as it cooks. Heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. The finished product should be very smooth, somewhat pasty, with no large chunks of beef remaining.
Step 3
Heat up the refried beans in a covered container in the microwave set on high temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Place the flour tortillas on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Heat the tortillas for 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave on high temperature.
Step 5
Build each burrito by first spreading about 1/4 cup of refried beans on the center of a heated flour tortilla. Spread one-eighth of the meat mixture over the beans, then pour about a tablespoon of the enchilada sauce over the meat.
Step 6
Stir the sour cream well, so that it is smoother, then spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons onto the burrito. Arrange some of the lettuce, cheese, tomato and onion onto the tortilla, and then you're ready to roll.
Step 7
Fold the end of the tortilla closest to you over the filling ingredients. Fold either the left or right end over next. Then fold the top edge over the filling. You will be leaving one end of the burrito open and unfolded. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve immediately.

- When selecting ground beef, be sure to choose a leaner cut for the best results.
- If you want to add more spice to the recipe, you can increase the amount of chili powder, paprika, or garlic powder.
- Instead of lean ground beef, substitute ground turkey for a leaner option. This substitution will lower the fat content of the dish, making it healthier.
- Instead of cheddar cheese, substitute Mexican blend cheese for a more authentic flavor. This substitution will give the dish a more traditional Mexican flavor.
Vegetarian Burrito Supreme Replace the ground beef with 1 pound of crumbled extra-firm tofu. Saute the tofu in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, and a pinch of salt until lightly browned. Follow the remaining instructions as written.
