Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped green chiles
½ cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
½ pint sour cream
4 large flour tortillas, or more as needed
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and green chiles in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
Add water, chili powder, salt, red pepper flakes, cumin, and garlic powder to beef mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer. Stir in refried beans; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Mix cream of mushroom soup and sour cream together in a bowl.
Fill each tortilla with beef mixture and roll tortilla around filling. Arrange burritos in the prepared baking dish; top with sour cream mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Cover burritos with Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
