1 yellow onion, diced

# How to Make It:
01 -
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while preparing other ingredients.
02 -
Rinse long-grain white rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a small pot, combine rice with 1 1/3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is fluffy and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
03 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with diced onion and jalapeños for 7 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until beef is fully cooked. Drain excess fat from skillet.
04 -
Stir 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the cooked beef mixture for added flavor.
05 -
Grease a large baking dish. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom to prevent sticking.
06 -
On each tortilla, layer refried beans, shredded cheese, cooked rice, and beef mixture. Roll tortillas tightly around fillings.
07 -
Place rolled burritos seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over them and top with remaining cheese.
08 -
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, or a dollop of sour cream for added freshness and flavor.
