Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or chicken) and cook until browned. Drain excess grease.
2. Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

1. Lay a flour tortilla flat and add a generous portion of the filling mixture in the center.
2. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling.
3. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 4: Add Sauce and Bake

1. Pour the warm sauce evenly over the burritos.
2. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
3. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

2. Garnish with sour cream, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
3. Serve hot and enjoy!
