Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped medium onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully browned with no pink remaining. As it cooks, season with 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in 1 can of diced green chilies and 1 cup of red enchilada sauce into the beef mixture. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes over low heat, blending the flavors together.
- Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in ½ cup of sour cream until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Spoon about ¼ cup of the beef filling onto the center of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top of the filling. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.
- Pour any remaining beef mixture over the assembled burritos, followed by an additional sprinkle of shredded cheeses. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the foil and return the dish to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Once out of the oven, let the burritos cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes
Ensure your filling cools slightly before rolling to prevent soggy tortillas. Combine cheeses for a delicious, gooey interior. Store wrapped burritos in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 3 months.
