• Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13” baking dish. Set aside.

FOR THE SAUCE:

• Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Once hot, add sprinkle in the flour and whisk to combine.
• Add the beef broth in one big splash at a time, whisking well after each addition.
• Add the chili powder, salt, pepper, and paprika, and whisk to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, and reduce the heat as needed to maintain it. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside.

FOR THE FILLING:

• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté 2-3 minutes.
• Add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spatula. Sprinkle over the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and paprika. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until fully browned. Remove from the heat.

ASSEMBLE BURRITOS:

• Place tortillas in between two damp paper towels on a microwave-safe dinner plate. Microwave for about 45 seconds to soften.
• Divide the refried beans, rice, beef mixture, and cheese evenly among the flour tortillas. Then, fold in the ends of the tortilla and roll the burrito closed.

BAKE:

• Spoon over the sauce and top with the remaining cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
• Top with your favorite garnishes (like sour cream, jalapeños, chopped cilantro) and enjoy!
